Somebody Write a PDF Editor Freeware Program

[PDFrank]

Call to all programmers:

If you write a PDF Editor and make it freeware, your reward will be
great in Heaven.

If it does PDF forms, they'll throw in the 72 virgins as a bonus.

Conventional wisdom: Adobe doesn't care as long as it's a print driver.

I've always wondered about that. When mortals die, they enter the realm
of immortality. If immortal, the need for children and species
propagation is gone. Why would there be 72 virgins waiting for for
martyrs in an existence where sex is obsolete?

On the other hand, I'd like to see a freeware PDF editor too...

It depends on whether one believes sex is solely for procreation.

That would be sweet. Short of that, the Gummint could just force Adobe
to open-source it. Think of it as imminent <virtual> domain...

You're assuming that you've reached heaven.

Geez mates, do try to keep up! It was a mis-translation. The
original text offers 72 *raisins* for your trouble.

Sure would be useful. But somewhere I read recently that Adobe would
be prepared to send you to hell (no raisins either) if you dared tread
on any of their IP in coding such an editor.
