That's not the main use case for pdfs. It's mainly a read-only format -
forms excepted.

However, you can edit them in libreoffice draw or Adobe Illustrator plus
others. Word allegedly reads them, but always makes a pig's ear of them.


Why the hell would I want something I can't adjust before printing?* I
might want only the top half, enlarged to fit the page, etc.


But PDFs are not designed for you to alter at will. They are designed to
be printed as is, just expanded or shrinked to page.


that depends on the pdf. some can be read-only, some can be editable,
some editable only in designated places (i.e., forms), some cannot be
printed and/or exported and some can have a password.
