At the top of the document, click on the Tools button. A sidebar will appear. The editable text blocks will be outlined. Edit the text. Select the text you wish to edit in the standard fashion: click to insert the cursor, click and drag to select multiple characters, double-click to select an entire word, or triple-click to select the entire text block.
Adjust the text blocks. In Acrobat XI, the text now flows and wraps as one would expect. If you add or remove a significant amount of text, you will want to adjust the text blocks to fit the document. Click in a text block to select it. It will have a blue outline, with blue handles on the corners and centers. To adjust the size of a text block, click on a blue handle, and drag as necessary. To adjust the position of a text block, place your cursor over a horizontal or vertical line.
The cursor will change to a cross, and you can drag the text block in any direction. Note the green guide lines—those help you keep your text aligned with other text objects on the page you're editing.
Holding Shift will snap to horizontal or vertical dragging. Edit the font. Acrobat XI also makes it easy to edit font attributes. Select the word, phrase, or text block you want to edit, then adjust as desired from the Format panel.
Method 2. Determine how much editing you'll need to do. The steps below for Basic Editing applies to those who only need to add or replace words, and don't need more advanced text editing options. The steps below for Advanced Editing apply to text edits that require additional tools such as changing the font style, color, or other options. Realize that not all PDF documents are editable. There are some documents that can't be modified, even with Acrobat Pro.
Open the document containing the text that needs to be edited. Select the TouchUp Text Tool. Wait for the editor to initialize. This should only take a few moments to complete. Select the word or phrase that you need to change. Double-click the text, or click and drag the text to highlight the phrase. Select "Properties" from the menu. You can change the font type by clicking the drop-down menu at the top of the dialog box and selecting your font you'd like to use.
You can change the font size by clicking the "Font Size" box and typing your specified new value. You can change the font color by selecting the "Fill" box and selecting a new color. There are also other changes that you can make, such as character spacing, word spacing, horizontal scaling, stroke color useful for bolding a phrase, since there isn't a bold or italic option available for editing , stroke width, and baseline offset size.
You can also embed the font into your document, however, most documents won't need their font to be embedded to be effectively viewed and understood.

Edits are confined to the page. You cannot drag a text block to another page, or move or rotate individual characters or words within a text box. However, you can copy text boxes and paste them on another page. Resizing a text box causes the text to reflow within the new text box boundaries. It does not change the size of the text. As with other text edits, resizing is limited to the current page. Text does not flow to the next page.
Place the pointer over the line of the bounding box avoid the selection handles. When the cursor changes to Move pointer , drag the box to the desired location. Hold down the Shift key as you drag to constrain the movement vertically or horizontally. Click and hold the Rotation pointer , drag in the direction you want it to rotate.
Place the pointer over any of the circular selection handles, and drag the handle to resize the text block. If you want to mark up selected text with highlight, strikethrough, or underline, use the Comment tool. The actual text doesn't change in the PDF. Those mark ups only indicate where and how the text should be edited in the source file.
For more information, see Highlight, strikethrough, or underline text. You can use annotation and drawing markup tools to add comments. Comments are notes and drawings that communicate ideas or provide feedback for PDFs. You can type a text message using the Sticky Note tool. Alternatively, you can use a drawing tool to add a line, circle, or other shape and then type a message in the associated pop-up note.
For more information, see Use annotation and drawing markup tools to add comments in PDFs. You can add items to a numbered or bulleted list, create list items, convert an existing paragraph to a list item, convert an existing list item to a paragraph, and convert from one list type to another. Acrobat detects paragraphs and lists separately.
Therefore, both paragraph and list may appear in the same bounding box while editing. After you save or save as the changed file and reopen it, the paragraph and list items are displayed in separate bounding boxes. You can also use Keyboard to add a list item. For instructions, see Fill and sign your PDF form. You can create, distribute, track, fill, and sign PDF forms using Acrobat.
For more information, see PDF forms help. For more information, see Rotate, move, delete, extract, or renumber PDF pages. Acrobat lets you add a header and footer throughout a PDF.
Headers and footers can include a date, automatic page numbering, Bates numbers for legal documents, or the title and author. You can selectively apply a background to only specific pages or page ranges in one or more PDFs.
A PDF supports only one background per page, but the backgrounds can vary from page to page. For more information, see Add backgrounds to PDFs. A watermark is a text or an image that appears either in front of or behind existing document content, like a stamp. You can add multiple watermarks to one or more PDFs, but you must add each watermark separately. For more information, see Add watermarks to PDFs. We value your feedback.
