Re: [tdf-discuss] New "LibreOffice Reader" Eliminates Need for "PDF Reader"

I dont thinks thats normal somehow, i have been using Adobe Reader for years
and have NEVER had it come past 200MB.

Back to discussion, what's with all the PDF hate.  It serves a very good
purpose a standard, editable document that shows up exactly how you want it
WHEREVER you are and whatever OS you are using.  this has always been its
use and so it falls in a different document category to ODF.  ODF is an
office format created to compete with MSO's doc, xls an ppt formats.  to
essentially modify the underlying purpose to make it behave more like a PDF
would waste most of what we have put into it.
