Well, there’s Acrobat. I think that the issue is that PDF is a deceptively complicated format. It’s basically a programming language for describing pages to print. So it’s not like parsing a JPG or something, you need a PDF interpreter. And I imagine the Adobe one is encumbered.

None of them are very good tbh
Why is that? It’s not like PDF’s are new. If it’s licensing are there non-legal PDF editors that work well?

Probably the same reason it takes so long to come up with third party flash interpreters.
I mean flash isn’t exactly new, but for the longest time there was only Adobe flash.
I wonder the same, something od adobe? it’s the only one that works.
yeah I know I tried some of them.
