Acrobat isn't really for editing PDF's in the sense of what you're doing. PDF's aren't really designed to be edited that way.

No, InDesign won't do anything as far as editing a PDF goes.

What you want is to work from a source file (RTF, DOC) and then when you get it how you want create a PDF from the source file (Acrobat will export to those formats). When I OCR I OCR to RTF and go from there. If you use Acrobat to export to RTF you can then use Word, Open Office or whatever to get it exactly how you want it and then if you want a PDF you can create one from the edited RTF.
