No. It is designed for print. It is used for screens (that's the crazy part). Something like HTML or epub is designed for screens. PDF later got extended with some features, that only make sense on screen but the original design is for print and it shows. For example everything has a fixed layout size (like paper). And most of the time the order of words got lost so you can not select text in a meaningful way (something that would not matter if it is printed).

    I am not sure if I should say it, but β€œSolang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird die Schraube rechts gedreht!” is something I always will remember.

    The German Reich isn't anymore and now look at those pesky gas valve screws. SMH
