Could use info from ppl nerdier than me. A friend asked for a scanner that can make "editable PDFs'" which my experience tells me is not a thing. However I'm aware that the world moves on and it's possible this is a thing now. So, understanding that I am not talking about annotating or making a fillable PDF out of a PDF, are editable PDFs a thing? I have read this page so I think what I mean is "Are editable PDFs a thing that you can do with normal non-Adobe software?"
