Not possible.

Hello Joyceg,

As per the description above, you want to edit text in a PDF like you do in Word, Is that correct?

As Bernd Alheit correctly mentioned that it's not possible to Edit Text in a PDF like you do in Word using the freeware Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

Licensed/Subscription based Acrobat gives you the ability to use the Edit Text & Images tool which lets you replace, edit, or add text to a PDF. You can correct typos, change fonts and typeface size, adjust alignment, add superscripts or subscripts, and resize text or paragraphs.

You edit a PDF one page at a time. For more extensive editing or to make global formatting changes across the entire document, edit the original document. If the original isn’t available, you can save the PDF as a Microsoft Word document or PowerPoint presentation. Then edit, and re-create the PDF.

For detailed information, you can refer to Adobe article Edit text in PDF in Adobe Acrobat

For plan and pricing of Acrobat license/subscription, you can refer to Plans and pricing | Adobe Acrobat DC

Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

Regards,

Anand Sri.
