I run a website which contains many pdfs which are from time to time updated, and once had the misfortune to delete/lose or whatever, my original word doc for one of them.

So I put the pdf up in its reader, went "select all copy all", pasted into an empty word file, and recreated the original word doc, though of course it needed a fair amount of reformatting (tabs are lost, for instance). But at least I had my original word doc back where it belonged. Fortunately it was only a dozen pages or so.

Some pdfs are "secured" so you can't "select all copy all", only a page at a time. That doesn't sound like fun if it is several hundred pages; but if you are deperate...

There is, simply, no dead easy edit-a-pdf in itself for the technical reasons explained.
