America's expectations for its leaders have always been low. We've had presidents who needed help with basic tech, and we were okay with it. But now, we face a terrifying prospect: a leader who might know how to convert a Word document to a PDF.
Kamala Harris was already middle aged when the DOCX standard was released or the workflow of converting a word to pdf became common. All of that stuff really didn’t hit mainstream until the Obama administration. It would have probably even been longer for a legal office to adopt it.
I think it’s safe to say she knows how to use Microsoft Word (or something like Lotus Notes), print a document, and even scan something to a pdf. I bet you could also teach her how to use ether “print to PDF” function fairly quickly. However if you just plop her in front of a computer and tell her to go at it I think the most likely result is Kamala swearing at the ribbon interface…
Guys Kamala is 60 and a career politician. I don’t think this is a given.
She was also a lawyer early on in her career. I’m sure as an office gopher she handle plenty a PDF, printing, copying faxing and DOCX.
Early on in her career was before pdfs were a thing.
How old are you?

My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.
Nothing is a given in this life.
