You can't do that in Acrobat. You should do it in the application used to create the original file, such as InDesign, and then create a new PDF file from it.

What program did you use to create the PDF document?

Acrobat cannot do that, but Illustor can:

Open the PDF with Acrobat Pro, select the text block using the "Edit" tool, right-click: Edit using : Illustrator.

After making changes in Illustrator: Save: Close.

The changes are reflected immediately in the PDF document opened in Acrobat Pro.
