What’s kind of weird is that there seems to be no other program coming close to Xchange’s range. I’ve tried a bunch of them and they’re basically toys compared to it. There evidently is some demand, but just one company meeting it fully? Is editing PDFs particularly technically difficult?
Try to open a text PDF with LibreOffice and you might see why is so difficult to work with them. You can find that all the text is spread in one field for each line, not a unique text box.
And the one company won’t release a Linux version either. Sure, Wine exists, but it’s not nearly as good as native support.
No clue how complicated PDFs, with all of its different versions are. Especially if some software make PDFs that don’t even comply with official spec (not sure how often happens though).
