From https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/...nock_obituary/:

Pioneer of hidden-line removal, co-inventor of Postscript and PDF, author of Illustrator, and charitable benefactor

Obit As the creator or co-creator of much of the technology that made Apple's Macintosh and modern computer graphics in general a success, John Warnock's impact is beyond reckoning.

Warnock and Chuck Geschke co-created the Postcript page-description language, and in Warnock's garage in 1982, they started Adobe Systems to turn it into a product. Dr Geschke died in 2021, and in our obituary for him we discussed Postscript's significance.
