Getting back to a fillable form PDF, after editing

All,

 

I'm opening a PDF created by someone else in Acrobat Pro. The form has fillable fields which I want filled out. After filling them out, there's area that I need to edit, so I choose the edit button on the right and edit by adding text or modifying existing text. After finishing, I want to go back and alter or add to some of the existing fields, but can't do it (it wants to still edit them, which I don't want).

How do I get back the option to fill in the fields like I had before? Yes, I want to keep my edits.

 

I'm so frustrated with Adobes support after paying huge amounts of money for a subscription, only to get totally inadequate support from India where there's a huge language barrier, so if you're from India, don't answer this.

I also found that you can "save as" and goes back to be able to fill in the forms.
