As there are many people want to create PDF using Acrobat or other editors. Have you ever consider how to convert it back when needed? I don't think acrobat can do this work well as creation. After all, no everytime that we convert PDF back to original formats is used for editing.

I will try my best to help you in PDF converison fields, objectively and Neutral.

Hi TonyPotter,

Generally it is a good idea to keep the original file in its original format to go back to if major editing is needed. Then reconvert to PDF post-editing. PDF is a finished file format and Acrobat is not great for major editing jobs as you seem to already know. But there are lots of people who do want to convert from PDF back to another file format such as Word, InDesign, etc. There are plenty of Third party software prodcuts on the market for just this purpose. Google is your friend in that regard ( PDF to Word converter, PDF to Indesign Converter, etc.)

Oh- I see now your tag line is advertsing one- didn't see that at first.
