| Supposedly you can cut, copy, and

| how to do this for more than one line
| at a time. When I finish my evaluation,
| I'd be happy to send you the results
| (and to anyone else who's interested).
| I really think we have a long way to go
| as far as PDF editors go. They all seem
| to only let you do a page-by-page, line-
| by-line type editing, which would be
| great if you distilled a huge file, then
| found you had one misspelling or faulty
| application of style. However, if you
| need to edit the end of one page, and
| the beginning of the next there's
| nothing to flow the text to the next page
| (at least that I've found). Boy wouldn't
| that be nice?
Why wouldn't you edit the source files from which the PDF was generated, and
then re-create the PDF? After all, any changes you make to the PDF must
still be reflected in the source files, no?
