That may not have been the original intent but don't tell that to real
world users.  The ability to edit PDFs is becoming a core desktop
function in many industries.  It's not the same as editing with a word
processor but heavy manipulation of the documents is common practice and
there is nothing in the Linux world that does it as well as Acrobat does
