    Is it possible to convert a pdf doucument back to a text document or anyway to edit the text of a pdf file?

    You could just copy and paste the text? If not possible, there are programs that can convert PDFs to text, although no free ones AFAIK - there are 2 popular ones, one being ABBYY FineReader, forget the name of the other

    Piece of cake. I just copy into Open Office and edit away.

    You can also open it in any PDF Editor and then copy and paste it into word.

    MRR does not give you permission to edit it. It give you permission to sell it, and sell the right to sell it unaltered.

    Private Label Rights (PLR) are the only rights that give you permission to edit the text, links or product any way you like.

    Just go to media-convert.com.

    I think Google Docs will convert as well. Don't remember.

    If that's the case the easiest thing to do would be to ask the author for the DOC source file. Make the changes then convert that to PDF.
