		troysk on Dec 24, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why are cancer guidelines stuck in PDFs? I find the web(HTML/CSS) the most open format for sharing. PDFs are hard to be consumed on smaller devices and much harder to be read by machines. I am working on a feature at Jaunt.com to convert PDFs to HTML. It shows up as reader mode icon. Please try it out and see if it is good enough. I personally think we need to do much better job. https://jaunt.com
