WordPerfect X3 Opens and Edits PDFs

To add to the general hubbub over the new WordPerfect release, I'll add that it not only natively creates PDFs, but it opens PDFs into WP, i.e., extracts the content of the PDF right back into WP for editing as a word processing document. If this actually works (and there is a groovy demo here -- follow the link to "Create & Edit PDFs without any additional software") it addresses one of the most persistent problems lawyers have with PDFs -- how to get the text out of the PDF file in order to use it in another document.

I'm thinking that for many people who don't have a lot of institutional inertia over software installation, WordPerfect might be worth another look. (Those in big firms and government, good luck.) And for those of you who never abandoned the WP ship, you may freely gloat in the comments.
