It is generally not possible to edit in Acrobat unless you are just
x-ing out content or adding 'post-it' notes. PDF is not meant to be an
editable format, it is meant to be a fixed format, which is why it is a
format used in scholarly papers as a final published format. The purpose
of Acrobat is essentially to add notes, indices and tables of contents,
make them hot linkable to the content they reference, and to generate a
search index for the Reader's search engine.
You might edit a PDF document, but only if you learn the PDF postscript
language and edit the raw code of the document file.
