How can I edit a paragraph from a PDF file without losing formatting on other paragraphs

[cgmk89]

How can I edit a paragraph from a PDF file without losing formatting on other paragraphs when using the "Edit PDF" feature? When the OCR is on, the current page is converted to editable text. Some paragraphs' original format/look is messed up. How I can avoid that? I just want to edit a word in a text paragraph and leaving all other paragraphs and graphics of a page intact.

Instead of replacing a word, you could try adding the edited word. Then delete the word, one letter at a time, that you no longer want.

What I wanted to do was deleting two words in a paragraph and have the remaining words auto move forward.  I could do it but my problem was whenever I clicked and started editing on the paragraph, other paragraphs' formatting auto changed (messed up) by the program.  I wonder can I select a paragraph or section to apply OCR and not have the program auto-converted the whole page to editable text and messed up the formatting.  Thanks.

OCR can be applied to one page in a multi-page pdf but not to part of a page. You could paste just the one paragraph into a separate pdf, OCR it and edit it, and then paste it back into the original document to replace the paragraph that needs editing.
