    Doesn’t that require a load of computer power? My computer could start a house fire opening a PDF.

      Depends on your hardware (such as your graphics card). But it’s definitely possible and a lot of people do it.

        I’ve always been sketchy about the energy requirements argument. It’s not like artists don’t take a lot of energy to create their work. If you hire someone to spend all day making a painting for you, you’re may be talking a day’s worth of first world-level energy consumption.
