I may have misworded it (if I wrote those words - PDF rots the brain and my memory likewise).

Agreed on the rest. PDFs don't store machine-readable data. Often just pixelated scanned hot garbage dumpster fire text.

I hate PDFs but have to work with the satanforesaken things. Hence the notebook. It's my little way of trying to give my little PDF-bespoked-hellscape a tiny little glow-up.

I probably didn’t read your comment closely enough. When I hear about PDF parsing or PDF as data I immediately get flashbacks from a project years ago where I had to parse PDF files. I think I am still traumatized by this experience so whenever I hear somebody wants to do this I just want to scream “Nooo. Don’t do this”

I think you and I should start a support group!
