Anyone with Adobe Acrobat Pro can open and edit the text in a pdf file. I believe more appropriate language would be that it is more difficult to change the text in a pdf file than in a document format for which many people have an editing program, such as a Microsoft Word document. This increase in difficulty is due to fewer people having a PDF editing program; it is not anything inherent in the file format. That said, I also frequently use PDF files to distribute documents that I want to be likely to retain the page layout and be more difficult to edit. Regarding the printing to two files, I've had this experience on Mac OS X when the page orientation in a source document switches from Landscape to Portrait, or the other way around. Perhaps this is what has occurred in the thesis or Word doc.... Please note that although the article states that PDF files cannot be changed, this is simply not true.

I don't know why this is happening, but there is a built-in python script in Mac OS X that will let you join the two files back together from Terminal.
