Ever tried to use Adobe Acrobat Professional as a word processor? If you have, you might have some idea of what this post is about. I had to make a very very simple change to an existing PDF and it took me an hour to figure out how to do it without screwing up the formatting of the whole document. I ended up selecting the text I wanted to edit and I clicked "create artifact." And then I was able to isolate elements of the document. It was not obvious to me at all that I needed to do that. I was just grasping at straws and found something that worked... kind of. I still ended up screwing up the formatting a little bit, but it'll have to do.
Now I've never been too impressed with the user interface of most of Adobe's products. I've always hated Acrobat Reader especially. I think it's one of the most over-rated, over-used programs out there. But man, this experience was beyond awful and this should have been such an easy task.
