Our company is using nitro pro for editing PDF.

I hate that people try to edit PDFs.

There's a hundred formats more suited to editing.

It's very common in the medical and legal analyst fields. There's a lot of scanned paper in those industries.

Scans are just rasterized images. There are many formats more suitable for scanning and then editing, and some of them are even embedded inside PDF.

Ugh. You just reminded me of the time I asked for a CSV file from a customer and got a .doc file.

Inside it was a screenshot of the CSV file opened in Excel.

I was just impressed that somebody could misuse so much software so badly.
