Well pdf is overused anyway. Maybe we can get some more use of epub or just straight up html
Different use cases
That's part of the problem. PDF is used in all sorts of places where it shouldn't.
Anywhere where it's meant to be edited for one thing. Keep the docx
Retvrn to PostScript.
*don't use docx in the first place
What's wrong with docx
Proprietary format that only "works" with one software
Docx is a an open format. Word just does some things weird
Not an open format. Microsoft just pretends it is. But it isn't. They subverted the whole system, didn't even hide it, just to push their impossible to implement format through.
So now it still has to be reverse engineered, and they get to call it "open".
