PDF Hacks - E-book - Multi-format

PDF files are widely distributed, but most people just read and print them. Even people who create PDF files often use "print to PDF" without asking what PDF has to offer besides a convenient electronic version of paper. PDF files are generally shipped from place to place for reading and printing, treated as an opaque container that people can open with Acrobat. You can use PDF as much more than an electronic paper substitute, however.
