Hello Steve Fishpaste,

There are some printers that use GNU/FLOSS to you know. 8) Got to be
careful being so inclusive. There are many uses for PDFs other than
for archival purposes. Printers for example take PDFs and often need to 'edit'
them. That's where the original idea to have a PDF editor originated.

For WHAT reason a printer need to EDIT a PDF?

To edit it of course! That's why many printers have prepress departments.
PDFs were originally used in the publishing world exclusively....
I think there confusion between printers (the machines) and the people
that operate printers. The machines do not need pdf-editing
capabilities, the people operating the printers for you might.

Yes, printers are jobbers who take a document and reproduce it. Printers are people. They operate printing presses. This newfangled term "printer", referring to a machine, is a recent innovation.

MAA
