Isn't it amazing how one company invented a universally spread format that takes structured data from an editor (except images obviously) and converts it into a completely fucked-up unstructured form that then requires expensive voodoo magic to convert back into structured data.
What would it have taken to store the plain text in some meta field in the document. Argh, so annoying.
PDF provide that capability, but editors don't produce it, probably because printing is though OS drivers that don't support it, or PDF generators that don't support it. Or they do support it but users don't know to check that option, or turn it off because it makes PDFs too large.
Do you know what this field/type is called, and I’d any of the big names (MS/Adobe etc) support creating such PDFs?
