You can just make something a PDF file and read it using a PDF reader (I like using Zathura or Evince on Linux).

Also, for that nonsense, it looks like either a Fresh or Still issue that needs to be fixed for your OS. I'd imagine it'll work just fine on CachyOS (my current daily driver).

I am avoiding creating new PDFs as much as possible. I now always ask people what format they would prefer, and I've gotten a few people interested enough to give an epub a try.

You may very well be correct about that. 🤔

why do pdfs suck?

Closed source, not as compact, and they expire, sort of. Adobe owns the IP and has obsoleted earlier versions, from what I recall. One of the features of epubs is compatibility, if memory serves. Better for digital archives.

That's intentional. I never forget. I'm also old enough to remember how things were in before times.
