spent all of yesterday morning fighting with a docx in word that was exported from a pdf file, i get it looking approximately correct (only minor spacing and font differences) and out of morbid curiosity opened it in libreoffice to see how bad it looked (it was bad.) closed libreoffice and just shook my head
proprietary "standards" will never work

also the only reason i had to open word at all was because the pdf didn't have fillable form fields. it's 2026, we shouldn't have this problem anymore, we've had the technology to fix this for many, many years even atril on linux supports filling in form fields, they just have to, you know, be there
