So Adobe's headassery and proprietary lock on .pdf has introduced a new vector of malware!
I fucking hate Adobe they should be broken up

That's insightful.
I'd wondered why other PDF apps came on the market in the mid 2000's.

Is there an alternative format to PDF that behaves similarly? I’m not talking about docx or others, because portability is a mess with those.

Im just curious, what makes you say that PDF is a shitty format? I remember starting to read a book on PDFs before when I was trying to learn to code with them and being surprised how much work it actually entailed.
