Sorry if my post wasn't clear, I meant my PDFs like my files which are stored on my computer, but that doesn't mean I have all the source files (far from that), I'm talking about all the PDFs that you get from others, like from work, suppliers, etc
Yeah, the point is that all those people sending you PDFs suck. Or your workflow sucks.
Example, presentation slides. There are people drawing on them, adding additional infos instead of condensing informations.
PDFs are for presenting, people use them for editing which makes no sense. Example: linebreaks are placed where it makes sense for the printed text, with font size etc. If you copy text and change font size, they will be everywhere and the info is literally missing to fix that.
So instead, you use a simplified format that doesnt have the needed info and add AI, OCR etc to add that info.
Its horrible.
TLDR: ask those people to send you the original files
