I've used a bunch of editors over the years but I don't think I've ever seen
one that can edit pdf files. Can you please name one or two?


They present a silly example here. I don't consider this
to be "real" PDF editing, as it doesn't consider enough of
the capabilities. Apparently Acrobat can access other tools
in the suite, to edit images.

Coreldraw is another possibility. The users note some limitations,
right away. Coreldraw has an eval copy, if you actually wanted
to try it out.

PDF is actually a programming language, and not just "a bunch
of primitives stored in a file". That makes it very hard to
design an editor that hides that fact. A good editor, would
have to recognize programming idioms, in order to insulate the
user from the realities of what is underneath. (Some files
can be virtually un-editable, due to the way the file is
constructed.)

Corel even has a spinoff product. But just based on the price,
a thing like this would probably not be very capable. A capable
editor should be more expensive (just a guess). There are user
reviews here, so you may find out about competing editors, from
the reviews.

There are probably more examples, in the tables near the bottom
of this article. You'd want a tool with both "import PDF" and
"export PDF", to qualify as an "editor". If the tool internally
doesn't preserve the PDF code while working on it, then the
results are likely to be less useful. For example, I could
change a PDF into a pixmap, but you wouldn't want to edit
by chopping up portions of a pixmap. You want the content
to stay in a vector-like format at the very least.
