PDFs are literally the worst thing ever

They fucking suck. Possibly the worst PC invention of all time. We have this arbitrary file type that exists only to be rendered EXACTLY the same on all computers. That is a novel and purposeful idea, but when it is monopolized by a single company (Adobe) and requires sketchy 3rd party software (Foxit) or expensive first party software to do ANYTHING with them, they are really a pain. Top that off with the fact that basically everything requires a PDF and it is really easy to create them (microsoft print to PDF, export) so as long as you have the files for it, all is well. But when you have to update one or fill one that isn't set as fillable, you essentially have fight God himself to move a picture two inches and match a font.

I realize this is in part because Adobe has custom fonts and layouts and whatnot that, if you do not have the files for, you cannot truly replicate, and that the way a PDF is functionally stored (in layman's terms, similar to a picture but with "markers" that show where the text is for copying), editing a PDF that isn't in the same program as what made it is basically pasting over the top of an image. How awful is that? There has to be another, better, way.
