Sounds like marketing to me.

It's marketing. It's pointless. As Hitch wrote, a PDF is a baked cake. Or Rock bun.
Or as the guy asking directions was told, "Well, sir, if I was to be going there I wouldn't start from here."
Forget about editing PDFs. Acrobat Viewer (basic) is a not great PDF viewer (there is a spec and other people do better viewers). Acrobat Pro is really just a stupidly expensive tool to make PDFs from other resources. It's not going to easily let you edit some random PDF.
There is a PDF format that can include a source document, obviously Acrobat Pro really edits that and makes a new PDF.
Forget Adobe.
