Dear PDF publishers It's 2024 We lost

Dear PDF publishers: It's 2024. We lost the 8.3 filename convention decades ago. There's no reason to continue to name your files "G4149.pdf" or "science.pdf", you can actually tell me what's in the file, by name.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
