Re: [libreoffice-users] PDFs

Adobe originally intended PDF to be a colour "fax" format for sending
documents to others. It was also intended to be a universal printable
format so that recipients did not need the sender's software (OgreOffice,
PubCrawler, or whatever) to print the output of the sender's program.
