PDF is not a format designed for editing. It's an export format designed to be a middle ground between a word processor and a printer.

You can bastardise extra layers onto it, but that's about it.

    But sometimes you need to edit it. Checking boxes. Signing things. Changing numbers so you can lie about things.

    I mean, you can pretty much completely edit a pdf with Acrobat. Delete elements, move them around, edit text. It may not be designed for it, but it's very much possible.

    I gotta admit I've done it a few times because I was to lazy to recreate old, lost templates, so instead I just copied the pdf and edited it with new text and data.
