To edit it of course! That's why many printers have prepress departments.
PDFs were originally used in the publishing world exclusively. Many times
designers make mistakes that need to be corrected before going on press
or there are simply edits to be made to information that has changed
prior to press time. It's done all the time! Same with CAD drawings
that have to be annotated and signed off on, and or any document
workflow where documents are "proofed" and annotated.
PDFs are used because it's a package container with the fonts and
images included, not because it's considered an end use format.
