(Are we anti postscript document format now? Did I miss a haters meeting??)
"Now?"
PDF files have been widely hated for as long as they have existed. They're good for printing and not much else. Definitely not a user-friendly substitute for a text file or web page.
The are a requirement for distributing a document that has to look the same on every device. I don't love them and Adobe can go take a flying fuck but if I NEED to make sure that my boss doesn't alter a document it has to be a PDF.
PDF is an Open Standard, the problem is that every site tells you that you can only open it with a program from Adobe.
