TidBITS:
The first I heard that Sierra’s PDF-related problems might affect more than ScanSnap scanners came in a comment left on one of those articles on 26 October 2016.
I have to recommend that Sierra users avoid using Preview to edit PDF documents until Apple fixes these bugs. If editing a PDF in Preview in unavoidable, be sure to work only on a copy of the file and retain the original in case editing introduces corruption of any sort. In the meantime, we’ll be watching closely to see which of these PDF-related bugs Apple fixes in 10.12.3, which is currently in beta testing.
I don’t use PDFs enough or in this way for this to be an issue but in reading the article, you can see how this will affect many developers.
Ach. Fix this, Apple.
In the interim, CEO Tim Cook said that these were the thinnest lightest PDFs ever.
And Shawn, while this may not be of interest to you, many people rely on this feature to get their work done.
Gee, Apple, I’m sure glad you removed computer from your name. Go sell another magical iPhone.
I Know. That’s why I posted it.
And Shawn, hurry up and fix this. Apparently it’s your fault.
I knew it!
Sigh. Always amazes me how people get an idea in their head and regardless of evidence to the contrary, just plow ahead…
I’m just curious — are you personally unable to do your work due to PDF bugs? I ask because you often post very critical DOOOM remarks, and I’m curious if you’re really affected by every controversy or if you’re just using them to fill in an Apple-sucks narrative.
Developers? All users.
