    Yes, I have Adobe Acrobat Pro so should be able to edit in there. But buttons seem to be missing and I don't seem to be able to do editing the way I'm used to.

    If your document is a scanned image, then you cannot edit "text", because it does not contain any text.  You will need to perform character recognition (OCR) first.

    If this is not your problem, please post a screenshot of what you see: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

    Also tell us your operating system and your Acrobat Pro version.
