Correct answer Jeff Witchel, ACI

Was this PDF created and saved in Illustrator?

If not, opening PDFs that were created in other programs is not a good practice. Illustrator is not a PDF editor. In opening non-Illustrator PDFs, you may get error messages, you could also totally screw up the file.

If you need to do simple edits in a PDF, you're probably better off opening it in Acrobat Pro DC. In the tools menu at the top of the Acrobat Window, choose Edit PDF. For more about editing PDFs, here's a video tutorial: http://www.jeffwitchel.net/2015/08/edit-pdfs-like-never-before-in-acrobat-dc/
