The world started slowly moving that way when Adobe created
and released the PDF file format. Now you have the open

really care if Adobe Acrobat created the file? Or Word? Or
Word Perfect? AutoCAD? MicroCAD? No. You just want to be
able to read it.

Wrong! I am a translator and I usually want to overwrite PDF
files in order to give my customers a translated file with
the same formats. Always a pain in the ass if all I get is
an image PDF.

I wish you had given us more information about how and what you do.

At the moment, it sounds like the problem is the source information for
the PDF file, not the fact it's a PDF file.

I don't think you are on solid ground by saying the PC is
the winning concept. Today, it's the only concept. No one
else is in that marketplace, MS has a monopoly, there's no
arguing that point. As with all monopolies, with no
competition, they don't have to do their best.

Mac, Linux ...

But the systems are aimed for different markets, so you can't really
compare them when the jobs they are generally accomplishing are not the
same.

Rather like comparing the family car to a limousine and a hearse.
