Honestly, pdfs are the worst invention that we hzave ever made an industry standart Everybody would have had it easier if Microsoft made a setting to lock and sign word files
Comment from : Luca Dario Bützberger

why is this called 'pdf workflow', not 'the story of pdf' or something?

I'm limited by the technology of my time

This issue if reflowing PDFs is particularly true on mobile devices with smaller screens when trying to read scanned ebooks On a pc with a large screen the problem is not that acute

Comment from : Turjak_art

HTML & CSS - I'm pretty sure if you assign " width:1in; " to a block element, it will be absolute just the same as PDFbrOr am I mistaken?

Please do a video on extracting text from pdf files
Comment from : g

Wait a sec HTML does support sizes in cm :P though the problem would be the display since hardly any display correct dpi setting :P

The solution to this is called Prince, formerly known as PrinceXML It lets you convert HTML plus CSS into super high quality PDFs

PDF is a terrible format Documents should just be stored in XHTML with embedded resources
Comment from : saiyjin98

Actually HTML can draw a line 1" long: {width: 1in;} Anyway I agree on PDF as universal document representation HTML was specifically design for screens Not comparable

I was hoping for a video showing how Word actually creates a PDF file

Top, TOP class gentleman, "Explainer in chief" - this guy tells a story so clearly and thoroughly but without piffle and waffling Thank you

Can we have a video on why it's so difficult converting a PDF file back to a Word file? Back when I was in IT at the NHS this problem came up when a department had Adobe Writer and was attempting to convert a PDF they had to Word The formatting was always messed up in the conversion Doing research if I remember right (was back in 2008-9) I roughly remember it was an issue with the formatting of the original PDF Writer could only convert to what it had available on the PC the conversion was happening on So if it was missing the original fonts etc, it would never be perfect

Is there a way to go from pdf (with math notation) to a text-based document (ie latex, doc)?
Comment from : herougo

Hi, Brady I don't usually leave comments on Youtube, but this time I could not prevent it Thank you for the video! This reminds me so much of the best times in college when professors would tell their tech related stories Indeed, a heart warming break for my afternoon

What do you think of a video about how product keys work? That would be really interesting
Comment from : Wouter

professor, I used LaTeX (or MikTeX) a lot as a student, have you ever worked with that?
Comment from : Pehr Meldert

you can not just go around comparing pdf to html it is like comparing elevators to washing machines pdf is meant to display things on paper while html is meant to display things on screen

Fonts are still a problem with PDF readers that are not Acrobat
Comment from : Daniel Aguirre

No mention of Display Postscript (which powered the NeXT)

I should point out that as a data analyst, I hate PDF!

Shout out to PDFTK

Question to add in a future PDF video: why does distiller need to have fonts available for embedding in the PDF and is there a way to avoid the problem and associated fail to distill the PS file when fonts can't be embedded? I still use the PS > distiller > PDF process, as Distiller came as a component of Adobe Framemaker
Comment from : RangieNZ

look pops what is it that your trying to say ?
Comment from : Super_Cool_Guy !

These two videos feel like the intro and outro to PDF without the informative and detailed bits this channel is known for Was that really it?
Comment from : einsweniger

I'd love to hear Professor Brailsford's thoughts on how various OSs render fonts
Comment from : Gooberslot

Omg i love listening to his voice Said it before on other videos of his, but this is ASMR to me :)
Comment from : Wanttofanta

Reflowing balmost/b works on e-readers from Sony as old as 2006 Lack of automagic hyphenation rules is the caveat Long nonbreaking words will overflow out of your page border The rest of it works beautifully to change the size of text Images OTOH, well, "it's a monochrome e-ink display: It's for btext/b"
Comment from : Andrew Foss

dam Didn't know PDF were that powerful every time I hear about Adobe the company has been just acquiring other companies and just leveraging (draining is more like it) to their own operations
Comment from : Darren Hong

What about Ventura Publisher? In 1986 it could render and layout documents on screen and onto printers and image setters with excellent results, That was several years before Postscript made it to the desktop Amazingly enough it's still a current Corel product!
Comment from : Jeremy Ardley

SVG will do almost the same as PDF and in some aspects even more
Comment from : Al Bel

Will the prof do a video on LaTeX maybe?
Comment from : Ivo

I maintain my resume in PDF It has a makefile TeX -> DVI -> PostScript -> PDF
Comment from : Laura Halliday

As always, amazing to listen
Comment from : ArnoldsK

html/css does have DPI support In fact, the px unit is not a pixel, but is instead adjusted based on the screen's DPI
Comment from : I Will Geek

I like him :) He gets excited as he explains

This man's career has quite a strange sort of coherence to it
Comment from : Ryan N

Did you ever use PSAlter, a fabulous bit of software that enabled you to write PS and debug it, single step, breakpoints etc etc, made life SO much easier when coding PS
Comment from : Steve Goodenough

You need to do a video on PostScript I have no clue what it is and I'm sure I'm not the only one
Comment from : bdot02

Here's something I don't understand Why PDF if you've already got Postscript? What can PDF do that Postscript can't?
Comment from : Jacco van Schaik

It amazes me that some people don't like PDF and will still ask for a doc
Comment from : barrivia

I could listen to this guy forever He's like the David Attenborough of software

Amazing video!
Comment from : koffer m

Yes, html can do a 1 inch line, with CSS
Comment from : PetarDambovaliev

The majority of the PDF files the average Web user encounters have no text in them, just images of photos, diagrams and text like a JPG A company that has 10's of thousands of specification sheets doesn't bother to OCR and error check every one They just set the source device to output as PDF as fast as possible
Comment from : RMoribayashi

Can you do a video about LaTeX

"I put a 700GB satellite image into a lossless Powerpoint presentation, but when I 'printed' it in a low res 300dpi A4 format, it was only 10mb" Um, yeah, misleading much?
Comment from : TechyBen

[Warning PDF!] /joke
Comment from : chaoslab

Yeah When ever we have customers send us PDF to edit directly, that's not a good signbrBut the "normal" case of working on a layout document (InDesign, Illustrator, etc) and only iexporting/i to PDF is completely fine by mebrYou wouldn't complain about how you can't edit a flattened PNG after losing the PhotoShop layers, would you?
