PDFs in Libraries: Why I can't edit them?
In Libraries:
.AI files are editable with a ctrl-click > Edit
.PDF are not.
Please allow PDF files to be open in Adobe Illustrator.

I totally agree that opening PDF in Illustrator can be tricky.
BTW opening from Libraries can save A LOT of time (sometimes)... -
Quoting Dov Isaacs: 'Ai is not a general PDF editor'. It can import these, recreating them into a new native structure, but it’s hardly full editing, unless it’s saved with 'Illustrator Editing Capabilities', which basically embed s full- copy of the document inside.
So importing a PDF from Library can be not one to one rendition.
I doubt this will ever be rethought :/
