what application can edit a pdf file
Adobe Acrobat. 1  1. Purchase and install or open Adobe Acrobat. 2  2. Open the file. 3  3. Turn on the Advanced Editing tool.  4. Edit images in the PDF 1  (optional). 5. Edit the order of the pages of the PDF (optional).  6. Edit the text in the PDF.
The solution is to use a PDF reader that allows editing even when the PDF itself does not. I recommend Foxit Reader, which, among other things, lets you add text to any PDF. The first time you run Foxit, it'll ask if you want to make it the default PDF viewer. That's entirely up to you, but I find Foxit to be smaller, faster, and less intrusive than Adobe Reader (though it doesn't offer quite the same level of security). To edit a PDF, start by opening it in Foxit instead of Reader. Next, click Comments, Typewriter Tools, Typewriter Tool.
