Bluebeam enables me to professionally edit documents in such a user friendly way. I have never felt so good about myself! I like all the different format options and highlighting etc. It is so easy to learn and I find it to be faster than Adobe.

To eliminate all the font changes when scanning a legal document, ensure that the scanning software is set to recognize text as plain text or use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) settings that maintain uniform formatting.
