Dudas en PDF

Ante todo, buenos días, hace tiempo uso el paquete Adobe, y siempre me pregunto lo mismo, porque hay errores tan básicos respecto al formato PDF? Tanto desde InDesign como desde Illustrator se pueden generar PDF's multi paginas, pero ninguno permite abrirlos y editarlos de forma rápida y directa, si un cliente envía un archivo en PDF con varias paginas, hay que sacar pagina por pagina, si deseamos corregir un error propio desde el PDF debemos hacerlo de a una pagina. y sobre todo, InDesign que no permita abrir un PDF directamente como editable me resulta hasta bochornoso.
   Hace poco me enviaron un formulario en PDF de 20 paginas, y tenia que editar todo su contenido, en vez de usar un programa de la propia empresa que genera PDF, tuve que recurrir a un editor de texto.
   Entiendo que desde Adobe se dijo muchas veces que Illustrator no es editor de PDF (lo que resulta raro considerando que es el formato que mas conviene para las ediciones de ese programa) pero que ni InDesign permita abrir un PDF de forma nativa es raro.
Solo soy yo? estoy haciendo algo mal? o esta queja es común?

The complaint is common, but mistaken. PDF files were never meant to be edited. They should always be the very last step in the workflow.

If the document needs editing then you need to go back to the original file format that was used to create the PDF (InDesign INDD file, Illustrator AI file, Word document, etc.), edit it, and then create a new file from it, not the other way around.

I agree, but it is not always our decision, many times it depends on a client that sends a PDF and only that we have to work. On the other hand, if PDF is the last file ready, to take the trouble to mark "conserve illustrator editing capabilities"
