In the early years the format was proprietary, but in 2008 it became an open standard so that other programs and services could read and create PDF files.
Acrobat, however, found it possible to edit PDF files, and users needed to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro to do so.
Today, there are various ways that anyone can edit a PDF file: you can copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into a Word file, save it as a PDF file, or use any online PDF conversion site.
