The predecessor to 1PUX was 1PIF (1Password Interchange Format), which actually is supported by other apps, and I imagine 1PUX will be supported in the future as well. Unsurprisingly, providing an export format that is easy for computers to read makes for a very attractive import feature for our competitors. 😄 In exchange, they often provide rather awful exports (like CSV) that take quite a bit of effort for us to import correctly. But we want to provide a nice export option so users never feel locked in. That's the purpose of 1PUX.

A PDF export is not something that a competitor would ever attempt to import. That's more along the lines of the Armageddon scenario. I'm not sure it's currently on the roadmap, but I've passed it on to the team for consideration.

Thanks for the feedback!
