To be an editing program, Adobe Acrobat needs actual editing features.

1) There needs to be a way to set margins, and to lock and unlock headers and footers in place for editing. 2) Compatibility issues with other adobe programs need to be addressed.

I'm trying to work with a file created by someone else in Adobe InDesign at the moment, and there are serious formatting issues crossing over with the text being randomly broken up into multiple text boxes. Even if I copy-paste all the text on one page into a single text area, after I save the document they are all broken up again. There are even more formatting issues when I try to convert the file to Word. There is just no clean method to do this, and I find it kind of ridiculous that people are supposed to subscribe to this service when it lacks key editing features. I'm glad that I'm able to copy text boxes and paste them to separate pages, and I'm glad that when you click and drag them around it's possible to eyeball the placement to be even with sections on other pages. But it could be so much better.

The fact that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has any incompatibility issues with files created in Adobe InDesign or other Adobe programs does not make sense. Why is an adobe program incompatible with an adobe program?
