Chapter 11: Editing PDFs

It's a fact that Adobe PDF is unlike other document formats, in which you can freely copy, paste, and move text and
images on a page. Instead, consider a PDF as a snapshot of your original file. Use Adobe Acrobat to touch up and
enhance the file for readability and distribution, and reserve more substantial revisions for your source application.
