Abstract

This article discusses the lack of a decent PDF editor for Windows compared to the built-in program on Mac OS. The author highlights the ease and smoothness of Apple's Preview for simple editing tasks, such as copying and pasting pages, which is not matched by any Windows program. Additionally, the author mentions the inability of Windows programs to copy text from PDFs without line breaks, unlike Preview. The article speculates on possible reasons for this, including Microsoft's fear of competition authorities and a potential alliance with Adobe. The author concludes by expressing hope that Microsoft will address this issue in the future. [Extracted from the article]
