         | 
         | It's far too easy to read "pee PDF", "pee" is an independent
         | 'morpheme', and "PDF" is an independent initialism, or
         | whatever... So, there's some real "strength" to that parse, at
         | least for me. It basically crowded out other possibilities,
         | quickly.
         | 
         | But, other than the possibly slightly unwise naming*, I'm quite
         | interested in this - always looking for tools to help with
         | formats with the complexity of PDF**. Thanks for pointing it
         | out!
         | 
         | * Perhaps it's intentional though? After all, there's also "Big
         | Faceless Organization", in the PDF space _forever_ ... maybe it
         | 's a "Close your eyes, show me your face..." ref?*** Hahaha...
         | 
         | ** One of the most complex I've ever worked with, factoring in
         | all the media it gets rendered to / systems rendered with,
         | including "digital presses" etc.
