PDFs are kind of nice. but ideally we, as a society, took a wrong turn somewhere when we opted for complex proprietary bloated filetypes that nobody can understand or use.
Just switched to Linux and this is one thing I haven’t found a good solution for yet.
My only real use case is the “fill and sign” features in Adobe Reader. That allows filling with text boxes wherever I want and importing my actual handwritten signature which looks indistinguishable from print > sign > scanned.
To all the windows users out there, just use Okular its free and available in the Microsoft Store. its a KDE application and still better than Adobe imo.
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.
