A vehemently disagree with any statement that claims PDF made the world better.

OK, I can be a little more nuanced, the many ways PDFs are used today, for anything but printing something, are making the world a worse place.

I agree on what you say about the ways PDFs are used today, but back in the 1982 the world was different. Back then it was a useful thing imho.
