    PDF files are not designed for major editing. Think of it as virtual cement. There are tools for minor editing using the commercial Acrobat product. These can be used to change an occasional letter that was miss typed. Generally it is recommended to go back to the orginal files to edit a document.

    Thank you Michael/

           Many of my files need periodic updating, which I can do with my Word documents. If I scan a document it is saved as an Adobe document and thus cannot be readily changed. Clearly I need to uninstall my Adobe program.

    Adobe Reader cannot edit PDF documents; you need Acrobat or other software for that.
