                Are you saying a business has never said “this needs to be a PDF” before?

                Fuck off with that noise. If they don’t understand how to use “save as” they don’t deserve the contract.

                    If you are challenging my argument based on experience, I’ve been doing IT for years. Screw off. Focus on the argument at hand not faking a debate on provenance of experiences.

                    I used PDF as an example of businesses routinely juggling multiple formats just fine. If we are talking about special snowflakes requesting particular pancakes, you need to understand MS office docs are spaghetti code they can’t export from flawlessly because even Microsoft doesn’t fully understand how it works anymore. Its layers and layers of poorly documented BS. ODF is a well documented, open, non proprietary industry standard.

                    You are the one defending the idea that anyone who doesn’t want to pay a ransom to get their work done is weird and insisting everyone else cater to them. I am simply saying “saves as, not save”

                    You’re huffing glue if you think the MS business model is anything less than a hostage situation. All you have to do to migrate is tell Dolores to move the mouse cursor a little farther south to reach save as to get out.
