PDF if Adobe's way of grabbing money from The laser printer market and not
paying money to use postscript. Postscript is a text formatting language
like HTML or RTF that allows inclusion of pictures. Something that any
modern word processor will also do. You *best* solution is to use a word
processor that allows embedded graphics but doesn't do macros. That way
you can't have viri/trojans at all. PDF is *owned* by Adobe so any free
program that handles it is going to around just long enough for Adobe
to take to court.

word processor" or something?

Don't quote that idiot. His use here is below notice.

Of course postscript is a language. How did you think it worked?

No. HTML is just text formatting and placement of external objects.
Postscript includes things such as line drawing and shading which pretty
well requires an actual language. Think of how you would describe a
picture.

Wait - YOU'RE the one who said Adobe owns PDF, I proved you wrong, and
I'M the idiot?

My God.. You are truly a clueless moron.

No seriously.. I don't say that about many people.. But you are truly
stupid.

Crap, there's the problem. Chucktard doesn't think. You solved it!

>"like HTML" ?

LOL.. Just like RTF is like a word processor, and you can't have
hibernate and standby on a machine, and you can't have Standby on a
Desktop.

What's sad is he doesn't realize how much of an idiot he is, and when
I proved him being wrong on almost every post of his, he killfiled me.

I think him and Wereo Scotty are about the same intellectually.

Heh, you wrote that like you thought I don't know the difference.

There is little similarity between Postscript and HTML.
