Steps to edit a PDF

Open the PDF you want to edit in Acrobat, and then click Edit in the mega verb bar at the top.
The PDF turns into editable mode and the Edit panel opens on the left. If the PDF you have open is a scanned document, Acrobat automatically runs the OCR and turns the PDF into editable text and images.
The Edit panel is divided into three sections - Modify Page, Add Content, and Other Options you can use on the PDF. Do any of the following:
You can rotate a page, crop a page, delete a page, or extract a page from a PDF.

If you want to organize the PDF pages, select Organize Pages. The Organize Pages tool opens on the left. Select your desired action you want to perform on the PDF like Insert pages, Add custom page, Replace or Split pages, add Bates numbering, and more.

You can add the content to the PDF like Text, Image, Header and footer, Watermark, Link, Bates numbering, Button, multimedia, and more. Click more to expand the list.
The edit tool provides access to other tools like:

Redact a PDF - Select to permanently delete sensitive content and sanitize the PDF.

Prepare a form - Select to convert any of your scanned documents, Microsoft Word, or Excel documents to a PDF form.
After you are done with your edits, close the Edit panel and save your document.
