 Burn all the pdfs and convert them into modular articles! They're so bad to work with 😖 
 Yeah, probably easy to just mass-convert everything with a script. 
 Book burning? Im pro pdf burning 💩

 Hmm. How do you burn a PDF? Would that be a deletion?  
 You actually need to print the whole thing out, hole punch it, put it in a binder, and then burn it. 

Printing pdfs to binders is actually good practice in industrial plants, though. At least the power plants I've been to. Reading schematics from paper in the field is much better than reading from a tablet or computer. 
 I know, but it seems so wasteful. And I'd rather not budget printing paper 🔥🪙💰🔥

indexing text through computers is such an underutilized process that some areas could massively benefit from. 
 Metaphorically 😂. Printing is nice but the actual pdf specs are enough to give someone an anurysm 💀
