Kill the PDF: Why it’s time to update or lose the format

PDFs definitely have problems but this &quot;story&quot; is an ad for a proprietary format called Turtl.<p>Clciking through to the company&#x27;s website and their example publications, these are <i>much</i> more difficult to navigate and confusing than PDFs. Users will find it hard to work through a Turtl document in a linear way and hard to figure out where something is inside the document so they can reference it again.<p>After the time it took to get PDF made into an open standard, I don&#x27;t think we want to go back to a closed format that&#x27;s owned by only one company and which requires their cloud service to function.
