The only person who can edit a PDF is the original author

The whole point of PDFs is so the receiver cant edit it

Have you tried just selecting all the text, copying and editing in a word document. You can then print to PDF. =)

you can get some converters which keep the same layout as the PDF when you open with word. I had this problem a few months back as well.

had a form from Vodafone like this a few months ago, basically it was too big to print out and fill in on A4, but when i re-sized it so it fits, the boxes to fill in are so bloody small that when faxed back they coulndn't read it

Vodafone are really pissing me off atm, bunch of arse

When talking about PDF's I might aswell mention Foxit - it's like Adobe Reader but it doesn't take half a millenium to open your PDF files. It won't really let you edit them tho, but meh.

Foxit Software
