   As far as I know the only way is buying adobe acrobat.

   google it. there are loads of options.

   unless the creator of the pdf has restricted it so you cant.

   as long as there are no pics in and you don't mind re-formatting it all you could try to copy and paste into word etc

   Otherwise try CUTE PDF ( it's free ) and I think you can edit PDFs in that

   Then again I could be totally , horribly wrong

   If it's just text - copy & paste it into Word

   I have googled it and tried a few different ones, but they only convert into a word document and not text editable.

   Time is short and I hope that someone in the STW massive would be able to give a direct response or answer

   I normally use PDF Online to convert documents from PDF to Word

   I wasted loads of time on this...

   Think this is what I ended up using...

   unlocker

   The fee version of THIS lets you add notes / comments once the doc is unlocked...don't think it lets you full edit functions though.

   You can import them into Illustrator and you can modify the text

    Easier option:
    I use Foxit free PDF reader, not Adobe.

    In the File -"save as" there is an option to save the doc as text.
    Job done
