Edit PDF on iOS

I just combined some pictures into a PDF file and I tried to edit the text on the file but it won't let me. The text is uneditable. How do I go around that?

If I try to edit the file on my Mac, it works great.

    Hi guyjabs

     

    Hope you are doing well. 


    We are sorry, you're having difficulties. Please help me with few details to understand your issue better. 

    1.  Make and model of your device? 
    2. Application version? 
         Yes, you can edit the text on a combined PDF as well.  Refer to https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobat/ios/en/workingwithpdf.html#editing

     

    We did try to replicate the behavior on our end, however, it is working fine. Make sure your application is updated. Do save your work then try to sign out and sign in back. Reboot your device.

    I believe that only Acrobat Reader is available as a mobile app, and while it will allow you to do a number of things, editing text is not one of them.

     

    I will move post to the Acrobat Reader Mobile forum on the chance I'm wrong (which is always possible).
