Save as .WWF, Save a Tree

[CarbonX13]

The folks at the World Wildlife Fund have created a new file format known as .WWF. It is basically a PDF file-based format the does not allow you to print onto paper. There is a video link to the 'trailer' from World Wildlife Fund below. The .WWF file format is currently only available on Mac, but will be ported to Windows shortly.[/p]

What's the point of this? I'm sure someone will just create a converter.

thats got to be one of the most retarded ideas ive ever heard of

 

[Slyakin]

Haha, I can't wait for people to just try to print it, fail, and convert it into printable.

This, if someone wanted a document bad enough they could just print screen it anyway..

 

[Deleted_171835]

Stupid idea.
You'll still be able to print this. Just not by using the 'Print' button. If I was more proficient with code, I would change a file format into printing 100 copies every minute and upload it online.

 

[shakirmoledina]

not all ppl are intelligent to find conversion software... atleast 10% will end up not printing
cant say why they did THIS, eh still good to save some trees

One of the stupidest ideas i've ever heard. Absolutely no point. Maybe ".WFF" stands for "We Will Fail"?

Removing functionality =/= progress. I get what they were trying to do, but I don't understand how they expect any positive feedback from this.

 

[Rydian]

This is just going to hinder people instead.

I mean wow.

Nope, it stands for World Wildlife Federation, stupid.

I agree. This is about as useful in stopping paper waste as a "Send our troops home" bumper sticker on the back of a soccer mom's hummer is in stopping the war.

Stupid hippies.

ah I see. Does he do this all the time then? Does the forum really need another blatant troll?

ill admit it was a nice laugh though.

Just to show you how stupid this is...

When creating a PDF, you can set a flag in the document settings to prevent printing.

Indeed, I will take his "insult" with a grain of salt, as he is a troll.

Yes, he does this on a regular basis, and this forum needs another troll as much as Mthr needs a hairbrush.

Its basically screaming for a convertor. Also, if people choose not to print, they just won't print? Useless format. I'm gonna create a format that makes your computer implode upon opening so we can save electricity.
