I made a passing comment of asking how hard it would be to convert a pdf file to another file format by writing a discord bot for it (for our ttrpg game) and one of the players said “Hell, because pdfs are madness inside.”
Can someone explain to me why pdfs are so weird?
Edit: a typo

PDFs come in many types.
Sometimes these types of PDF are not in a machine-recognizable form; they can be in a strange variation of what a PDF should be – this usually happens when the app used to make the PDF is not an Adobe product.
Sometimes the text in a page can be turned into an image, or a huge collection of images all arranged as one large image, mixed with occasional extra bits of text thrown in just to confuse you.
