I won’t contribute to the rudeness here, but I want to communicate to the moderators that I find the DT community to be much less supportive of learning and less willing to understand the use cases of other users than other software that I have learned in the past few years.
I walked away from this discussion knowing almost nothing else about how DT encodes PDF layers, or how Live Text works, only that it’s bad and I was a fool to ask for a clarification. I used to pitch the software without hesitation but now it comes with a warning that you’re on your own.
