Don't change the PDF, Change the original document and then convert to PDF. 

 

If there is text on the PDF that will need to be changed at times, then leave these areas blank on the original document, and then add text fields to the PDF after conversion.   Then you can change the text anytime you like without the danger of totally destroying your document.
