PDF is not meant for editing. Period.

So you are saying that after first saving my PDF document (which I made
using Acrobat) it's cast in stone and I can't edit it or send it to my
colleague (who also has Acrobat) for review/edit. Not sure about that ...
No, I'm saying PDF was not /designed/ to be edited. The fact that one can
edit a PDF is to be taken as an unintended feature.
Why bother to write the Acrobat software if PDF is not *designed* to be
edited? Under your assumption a "pseudo printer" would be all that was
necessary.
I presume one can produce PDFs of different quality using different
software. PDFCreator is in fact all I use (on Windows, on Linux I don't
even need that), but I suppose if my business was industrial printing
I'd probably need the Adobe software or even something "better".
The fact that Adobe software is not being used as a word processor and
the fact that producing PDFs (output format) is a common feature while
importing PDFs (input format) is a special case must be telling us
something.
