Think you need to buy the Adobe software to edit a PDF. That is the point of a PDF, it can't just be edited by anyone.

Not easy to do for free. Have a look at this thread a while back

A cheaper alternatve to Adobe Acrobat for editing pdfs is Serif PagePlus 11. I have used it for editing application forms in pdf format. Serif charge £99.99 but you'll get it cheaper on eBay. HTH

even if you have adobe acrobat you will only be able to make small changes. You would be better redoing the file in a word doc or adobe indesign/quark depending on what you have. Pdf's are basically flattened source files that are used for print and email.

I think it has been mentioned in an earlier thread, but PDF995 (http://www.pdf995.com) may do the trick.

openoffice may be able to do this as well
