My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.
She was completely dumbfounded.
I'm a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.
It was probably cuz you can't run plagiarism checks on it.

Please tell me that you at least showed the student that you can save a word doc as a pdf.
I wouldn't be surprised someone else wrote it.
I’ve seen pdfs with just a photo of a monitor showing an error message.
I've had support tickets with screenshots pasted inside a power point presentation

As an engineer, I hate the way excel handle dates
