Editing Text with the Touchup Text Tool
The 
Touchup Text tool allows you to make minor text revisions to a PDF document, including modifications to attributes, font type, size, fill color, etc. If the PDF document is secured to prevent editing, the Touchup Text tool is not available unless you get permission from the author. See Digital ID Settings.
You can only change text and properties if the related fonts are available in your system or embedded in the document. See Embedding Fonts.
Make limited text edits, even over multiple lines of text.
Notes
Editing should be kept to a minimum because the PDF format is mainly for document exchange, distribution and publishing, not for large-scale text revision.
Text editing may not succeed on text where only a subset of the original font is embedded.
The Touchup Text tool cannot be used with form fields.
Using the Touchup Text tool might change how the document reflows and may make the document less accessible to the visually impaired.
