Use Adobe Acrobat to make changes

To edit a PDF, users can utilize Adobe’s Acrobat software. It’s important to be aware that editing text causes the paragraph to reformat within its text box. Text boxes are separate entities; adding text to one won’t automatically push or reflow the surrounding text boxes to the next page, potentially altering the PDF’s layout significantly.
To format text in a PDF, proceed as follows:
1. Install and download the software, select Tools-Edit PDF-Edit
ACROBAT
2. Select the text to edit. Please edit the text by doing one of the following:
· Type new text to replace the selected text, or press Delete key to delete.
· To manage list items, use the right pane’s “Format” section. Here, the lower list controls for bullets and numbering let you add new items, convert paragraphs to list items or vice versa, and switch between list types.
· Available in the right pane “Format” Select a font, font size, or other formatting options below. You can also use advanced formatting options such as line spacing, character spacing, horizontal scaling, stroke width, and color.
Notice:
To modify text, you must have the font installed on your system. If the font is embedded in the PDF, you can only change font color or size. Without the font installed or embedded, editing is impossible. For easier modifications, convert the PDF into an editable format using Renee PDF Aide, as direct editing has many limitations.
