Are these prices located in form fields, or are they static content on the page? If the latter there's no simple way of doing it.

You'll need to either manually edit each price using the Edit Text & Images tool, or create a custom-made script to identify them and overlay a field with the new price on top of them.

This kind of editing should really not be done in the PDF format. You need to go back to the original file used to create the PDF, edit it, and then generate a new PDF.

If they are form fields then it's quite easy to change, actually.

Here's an example of a script to change the value of a single field:

this.getField("Price1").value = Number(this.getField("Price1").value)*2;
