Okay, you know what?

I'm actually wrong. You can, in fact, do everything that you said you wanted to do, using DC. You can edit, "reflow" text (manually), change the page numbers, and so on.

But as I tried to explain, previously--it's painfully horrible to do so. I have seen instances (and worked on them, mind you), where when push came to shove, it was faster/cheaper to scan or retype the content and recreate it (Word-->InDesign-->Replacement PDF pages) than it would have been to use Adobe (or any other so-called PDF Editor, let me be clear about this) to fix it.

Word, for that matter, claims that it will allow you to edit PDFs. And to some extent, that's true. You can open a PDF--any PDF--in Word, make edits and then export that sucker right back out to PDF--but be prepared for the fact that the end result may not look as you would hope.

I'll shaddup now.
