      Why is that? It’s not like PDF’s are new. If it’s licensing are there non-legal PDF editors that work well?

        Wasn’t PDF supposed to be a read-only, print-only medium? You’re supposed to edit the source material (like a doc) and export that to PDF, not edit PDF directly.

          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.
