I always export my Typst with PDF/A. It basically guarantees maximal compatibility and none of the annoying dynamic bullshit. I wish everyone would do this, at least for documents that don't need the fancy dynamic PDF features.
I don't even know how to export as PDF/A. Seems like we'd be better off saving the PDFs as gifs and uploading them to LLMs at this point.
On a related note, I like the ability of good old HTML to be able to change text for different human readers, based on their chosen locale. With this I can change units such as litres to 'fluid flagon ounces' or whatever it is they use in the USA, or I can drop in a friendly greeting in a foreign language. I have not seen this done in the wild, usually it is a trip back to the server for a different locale, or the server does the locale reading before sending the page.

PDF has its uses but CSS for print interests me far more. I am not in a hurry to learn the PDF spec, but HTML/CSS/SVG specifications do interest me. I doubt I am alone in this, so I would prefer to get my HTML fully accessible to all, to make PDF a 'nice to have', just churned out with some type of headless webkit renderer, server side.

I would suggest changing the title to the actual title of the article: Adaptive PDFs. Assuming the program works, the PDF will not actually look different to me than to anyone else looking at it, so there is nothing that "changes based on who is reading". It is just that text extraction, a wholly different (and much fuzzier) process than viewing the PDF, and something that the same person can do, will now return stru…
Having slightly different versions would certainly be a help in identifying leakers of certain kinds of documents to increase the odds of identifying leakers. That would be of interest to some kinds of organizations or departments within organizations.
