I need to create a pdf that can be edited in Acrobat Reader. In other words, when I open the pdf, it recognises the text boxes and other elements and lets me change them as necessary. I can do this by exporting pdfs from other softwares, like photoshop, illustrator and powerpoint, but I can’t do it by exporting from Figma. does anyone have any idea if this is possible?

Acrobat Reader can't change documents.

However, when I use other software (such as Photoshop, Illustrator or PowerPoint, for example), I can easily edit...

No, you can't. You can only add comments and fill in form fields that have already been added to the file.

If you were to do it then you were using Acrobat, not the free Reader.
