PDF--to most of the world (concern) it stands for that rather (kinda) tiresome format (info) used for documents downloaded from the web.

But PDF done (finished) right is another (added) story. Those who know (undergo) the ins and outs of this format (info) know that it can (crapper) be much (such) more than electronic paper.
