Wa alaykum salam,

Maybe try converting the PDF into Word (or whichever program you are using) through one of those free online converters. Here is the first one I found. Hope that works in sha Allah. If not, Google for something like 'PDF to doc online free' and that should give you a few sites to choose from.

Once you've modified the word document you can then save that as PDF.

Hmm yeah, I've experienced some files that didn't convert so good but worked okay for others.

Maybe give a couple of the different sites a go (if you haven't already) as they may give different results. I'm not sure if there is any other option aside from this (and aside from buying Adobe's editing software), to be honest.

You know the online converter I linked in my first post, did you give that a try? I just uploaded a 3 page document and it converted it perfectly, retaining all formatting.

Give it a ago sister (make sure you click the link to keep your document private), it might work out. It seems completely free.

I think if it converted to Word document okay it should allow you to edit without any restrictions. I just googled for error messages similar to what you described and some of the results are saying it could be due to Microsoft Office not being activated. Can you confirm (one way to test is whether you are able to create new documents, edit other ones)?
