WWF (file format)

WWF is a modification of the open standard PDF format for document exchange endorsed by the World Wide Fund for Nature (also abbreviated WWF) Germany. The WWF format is promoted as being more environmentally friendly than other comparable document exchange formats (e.g. PDF or DOC) since documents in this format are designed to be more difficult to print. The motivation behind the use of the format is to prevent unnecessary printing of documents. The website claims that the file format will be able to be read by most programs that can open ordinary PDF files. At present, the software for creating WWF files is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and for Windows XP and later. An Open Source equivalent is available for Linux and for Windows XP and later.

Technical details

WWF files are simply PDF files with the security settings for printing set to "not allowed", and the file extension ".wwf".

Thus, the inability to print the files comes from the DRM built into Adobe Reader, which looks at a flag in the PDF to see whether printing is allowed. Other PDF readers, such as Ghostscript, may not honour the no-print flag, rendering WWF files printable.

    The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization founded on April 29, 1961, working in the field of the biodiversity conservation, and the reduction of humanity's footprint on the environment. It was formerly named the World Wildlife Fund, which remains its official name in Canada and the United States.

    It is the world's largest conservation organization with over 5 million supporters worldwide, working in more than 100 countries, supporting around 1,300 conservation and environmental projects. WWF is a foundation, with 55% of funding from individuals and bequests, 19% from government sources (such as the World Bank, DFID, USAID) and 8% from corporations in 2014.

    The group's mission is "to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature." Currently, much of its work focuses on the conservation of three biomes that contain most of the world's biodiversity: oceans and coasts, forests, and freshwater ecosystems. Among other issues, it is also concerned with endangered species, sustainable production of commodities and climate change.

    You Wish You Were Me

    by: Wwf

    I see the way you look at me
    You envy me (You envy me) and its killing you, (killing
    you) (eating you alive)
    And you know it makes me smile when I look in the mirror
    Thinkin' how good it is to be king
    Chorus:
    And dont you wish you were me?
    The king of all you see
    Don't you wish you were me?
    It ain't that easy
    Don't think you'll ever be,
    Everything a man should be
    Cause dont you wish you were me?
    Keep dreamin' you'll never be me
    Too soon, you'll be a memory
    There for all to see (Forever) Just Illusion (Just
    Illusion)
    And sometimes it makes me laugh when I see your reaction
    Knowing that I've become mighty
    Chorus
    Inside my mind there is a freak
    That drives me on past all defeat
    You'll never have, you can't instill
    The power of my iron will
