...you think PDF files can't be edited? ๐ค
Internally, PDF is such a shit format that it is more likely to cause your computer to go thermonuclear and destroy your entire neighborhood than it is to survive even the most minor edit. And that's even if you choose to pay Adobe for their craptastic editor.
It's not intended to be an editable format. Any hacky solution that allows editing it is always going to be shit.
And spreadsheets aren't supposed to be anything more than a convenient way to calculate things, but we know how that went.
