Correct answer Energetic_Dusk6903

So the answer to my issue was...

Removing PDF/A for editing. In Adobe Acrobat select Edit - Preferences - Under Categories column select Documents on the Right go down to PDF/A View Mode - in check box select - Never.

PDF/A is designed to give a minimal feature set to enable long term storage assuming that storage formats will vary in future rendering a full PDF document either partially or totally unreadable.

If you had specified that you wanted to edit PDF/A you would have got the right answer straight away.

Adobe has announced the end of support for Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9 (released in 1998) as of 26 June 2013, you should consider using a more recent version.

I don't want to pay a monthly subscription for something I use every few months... but thank you for your input!

It's completely understandable. Fortunately, there are many third-party PDF applications out there. I'm sure there is one that can do what you want and need. However, I can't recommend one since I'm on a Mac.

Acrobat 9 has not been supported for many years. You do not have any options other than to go back to the computer and operating system you had when it was working. Alternatively, get a the current release of Acrobat.
