Pdfs were never meant for that... people dont get that and try to convince you you need to edit damn PDFs.

Pdfs are a format for viewing documents, with most editing capabilities stripped. Libreoffice and MSoffice both have a feature to export a PDF with an embedded .odt or .docx, that you can actually load in a regular word processor, edit and export.
