I bit off topic but ...

I received the message quoted below from an extremely knowledgeable friend.

FYI - In OS X since day one, PDF has been a system native file format.


The System supplies services to the applications that allow any application 
to save or open documents in the format based on the published PDF Specs.

Microsoft were said to be providing something which could open PDF's but 
only save as something not quite PDF. The article does not make clear what 
will now happen.

PDF is now sometimes used to send documents  and permitted Fonts to 
Printshops for printing where Quark and increasingly Adobe InDesign reign. 
All of these formats produce huge files.  Not all print shops can work with 
InDesign because of  software and learning issues.

Is this right "In OS X since day one, PDF has been a system native file 
format."? If so, Macs should be able to edit PDF files natively. Or ????
