good day natliegleb, with reference to your topic discussion, i have already encountered that situation, wherein i need to convert the pdf into another type of file so i can edit it. good thing, i was able to do it with a help of another software. although it somehow cost me a little, it is still fine since i was able to do my job at ease.

Unless you have an Adobe product (apart from the free PDF viewer, of course) there is NO WAY to edit a PDF document and you will only be able to edit it if it is not locked (or you know the password used to lock it). All that it is possible to do, apart from the above, is to copy the contents into a word processor (provided that copying has not been disabled as well and that the document is not, in fact, merely an image containing text), reformat it to match the original, edit it and republish it as a PDF. In short, if you want to edit a complete PDF document, you will need Adobe Acrobat (full version ... very costly) AND any passwords which have been used to protect the original document.

You can use adobe softwares, i.e. acrobat or photoshop, but i think it is quite bothersome or time-consuming unlike doing as in doc format. There is another pdf viewer/editor, an add-on, on the net which is free which i used before which would be integrated with a firefox browser.
