So I guess it’s just only us Millennials that know how to convert a PDF properly, and we’re just sandwiched in between boomers and gen Z finding the most ridiculous ways to try to accomplish that task.
Imagemagick be converting anything into anything
(Actually in this case, it make an html file and a png file which is referenced in html file and html page displays it)
The difference being that a lot of millennials know how to figure out how to do stuff on computers by doing basic research. I’ve found a lot of my Gen-z friends to be more helpless in that regard.
This is why millenials, despite all else wrong with us, are the best generation. I asked a kid the other day if they knew what a directory was… Crickets.
What’s fucking wrong * is * that we’re sandwiched between Boomers/GenX and Zoomers. Too young to be able to shove the Cold War brain rotters out of power, too old to convince the Zoomer incels to talk to a girl instead of listening to Andrew Tate.

As always, GenX just forgotten.
Who?
Gen X is a mixed bag when it comes to this but most I’ve come across are more like Boomers than Millenials on this.
Yeah, I didn’t want to shit on you guys. Most of you are all right.

not really a good way to get the text out of a pdf though. then again, turns out neither is pandoc.
I thought pandoc didn’t support from PDF, only to?!
damn it, you’re right. should probably have checked that…
real men find a random pdf converter website on the internets and upload our secret documents there
Somehow, millennials ended up being the only generation that at least kind of knows how to use computers.
Naah. There is plenty of Gen X, Y, Z who know and plenty of Millenials who dont.
Its just if you wanted to “do stuff with computers” you had to develop some understanding back then.
Today you can “do stuff” like gaming much easier out of the box. So not everyone who “does stuff” knows his way around.
In the office most colleagues of all generations just know how to do their specific things, mostly in MS Office products.
Of god…. The number of colleagues that their WHOLE job depends on MS Word and they never heard of “Insert page break”………
Then they complain when inserting an image breaks their whole document…….

I was probably using computers when you were still in your mom’s ovaries. My first one was an Apple ][+ in 1982.
I will use my powers for evil, just to be smug.
Might as well get something out of being the last adult generation before the collapse.
