Yes. Open the editor, choose Edit text and click the paragraph, heading, list or table cell you want to change. It opens as a text box in the same font size, style, colour and position, and when you save, the original words are removed from the PDF rather than covered up, so search and copy find only your new text.
Yes. Add text boxes and format them with fonts, sizes, bold, italic, underline, colours, bullet and numbered lists, alignment, justification and line spacing. You can copy and paste them, use the format painter, find and replace text, and insert tables, links, dates, symbols and comments. To rewrite a whole document, convert it with PDF to Word.
