I really don’t see the point in this. First of all, Open Office can edit PDFs without much trouble.

Secondly, the text this application generates is not flowing from one page to the next. The text is split up in paragraph blocks with an absolute position on the page. It also messed up columns.

If one understands the limitations in the PDF-format, I guess this is an ok solution. But there is Open Office anway.

Someone should tell them the font on the buttons on the second screen are not very Web 2.0.

Ah well, at least it’s not comic sans.
