What Christof said was correct, though. PDF is not meant to be edited
& the bulk of the tools out there are mostly for creating PDFs out of
source docs in other formats. PDF is a sort of write-once medium,
partly to /prevent/ people doing things like changing the front page
and a few words elsewhere - because that is often the sort of thing
that thieves do in an effort to evade copyright restrictions.
