Any Graphic Designers Here?

Are there any graphic designers here?

I have been doing graphics for a while now and love it, but there is one thing I don't understand.

When making letter heads, I use Adobe Indesign and save the final design as a PDF which is then send to the client. I have always wondered what happens to it from there as you can't type on a PDF and most companies I know just use ugly word designs instead.

I haven't had anyone ask me to make an editable version just yet, but how is it done? A PDF can't be converted to a word document as far as I know and using an image instead will loose the vector and as far as I know there's not a reliable way to type on PDFs... which makes me wonder why clients ask for letter heads in the first place.

maybe they just get the paper printed oh and you can convert pdf's into word docs

Just done our new letterhead.... we had batch printed and then print on to the letterhead direct from word etc.

How is it converted to Word? I know you can save PDFs as Word documents via Acrobat but it totally destroys the layout.

Same thing I always do with company letterheads.

Never mind that, you mean get the letter heads printed and then pop them back in a printer and print onto them again with just the text?
