This happens once a year when I need to modify an existing .pdf. I know I can do it with Acrobat pro 9, because I did it last year!
How do I modify text?
I'm doing some awards and I just need to change the names and dates. I spent all day yesterday trying to remember how, and for the life of me, I can't figure it out - googled all over and no cigar.
I'd appreciate it if someone can help!

Tools menu > Advanced Editing > Touch-up Text tool
Hopefully all of the fonts are embedded!

Do you have the original file still, before it was converted to a PDF. I know I probably don't need to say it, but this would be much easier than messing with the text that's already finalized in the PDF file...
If not, macbeergeek2's instructions will work.

I found the touchup tool yesterday - not working for me.

Further info - the original was done in MS Publisher - which is why it is now a .pdf - Macs just don't have the ability to work with those.

You could try a site like
http://www.zamzar.com/ which will convert the file to a .doc which then you can save and edit each year. I've used the site in a pinch and it works well and quickly.

Do you have Illustrator?
If not, you should get it.
PDF is its native format.
