I've looked at the existing discussions and I couldn't see a real solution to this question.

Not sure how I ended up with 'editing pdf files' as my screen name, but I clearly goofed there.

How can I edit my screen name?

There is an ongoing issue with propagation of name changes from the Adobe Account to this website. Staff is aware and is working on the issue but so far there is no ETA on a fix.

It can't be edited through 'Edit Communities Profile'. It was the first thing I tried before posting my question here.

Staff member Rohit provided the correct way yesterday in a different forum, which was:

The Adobe Forums do not store your screen name or password. Your screen name is part of your Adobe ID from Adobe.com. To change your screen name or password you have to edit your account at Adobe.com.

Go to https://www.adobe.com/account/account-information.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID
Under Personal Profile, change your screen name
Click on Save My Changes

Obviously, my mistake. And thanks for coming back to post the correct procedure. I suggest that you mark your own message #5 as Correct. This should be useful for future newcomers with the same question.
