       The modern web is going great, example number 32,767:I go to my local city's parks and recreation site and click on the button for the class catalog, and it gives me a PDF of the catalog, except...It's NOT a PDF. There is a PDF of it, somewhere, but what I get is a bloated, slow JS view of the pdf hosted on some hellsite called fliphtml5 dot com.I start looking for a way to download the stupid thing, and the best I can find is a downloader site which downloads it and serves you up a PDF... except... the PDF is basically just a stack of JPEG screenshots of whatever fliphtml5 barfs up, and somehow, even better, it's only the first four pages.I guess I'm going to keep the paper version of the catalog, then.#WebPoopPointOh #Gripe #ThisIsFine
