Adobe acrobat sold as solution for editing blueprints

     I think I have been sold the incorrect product... I am an electrician, and sometimes I need to edit locations of receptacle, light and switch symbols on a blueprint. I went to staples and was told this is what I needed. Now, I either just wasted 650 dollars, or am a complete moron. Does anyone know for sure if Adobe Acrobat DC does have this functionality, because from what I can see using the software, it does not...

No, although Acrobat DC Pro does have some PDF file edit capabilities, those edit capabilities are quite insufficient for the task you describe. You cannot readily move objects around as you might in a drawing or CAD program.

We're sorry that the folks at Staples led you to believe otherwise. Go back there and return the product for a refund!
