PDF is a (more or less) high-res image file.

It's a vector format.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's hybrid. You can have a PDF that's just an embedded image (or embedded image and indexed invisible text). Or you can have one that's all vectors and text. Or somewhere inbetween.

That's what I call a vector format, most vector formats allow raster objects.

Fair enough.

I call it a combination format, because I think it's clearer.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

PDF is a (more or less) high-res image file.

Also, any imbedded images aren't necessarily high-res.

Any other parts of that sentence we can deconstruct?

I couldn't help myself, I used to work on file format conversion.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Apple had Panther CDs available for purchase, and so I purchased. Hooray!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hence the more-or-less. But now I'm trying to frame this as deconstruction-a-la-Derrida.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, to me the phrase "(more or less) high-res" implies a range from sorta-high-res to high-res. I.e. not low-res. But maybe medium-res.
