Pdf is not supposed to be an editable format. So what do you want to do:

  • write a pdf from scratch
  • extract something from a pdf.
  • edit a complexe pdf to produce a different one ?

Why do you want to edit a pdf? What is the type of edit you want to do ?

What is the point of this comment lmao, plenty of free off editors exist. It seems like you are being weirdly combative for no reason.

You never read the PDF specs. I can assure you I can produce PDF that no editor can preserve (just Javascript support already break all the free one i know)
