i mean, it's equivalent to using a typewriter to edit a printed page. pdf was not designed to be edited.

    What? If pdf wasn't designed to be edited, why are there pdf editors?

    because people who don't know computers can't learn to use the right file format.

    pdf is a container format for code that is run by printers. it's not something that can be easily changed. pdf editors are hacks upon hacks upon hacks.
