I need to replace the text. I used the replaced text feature but the old text keeps showing when I print with a line through it. How do I actually get the text to be replaced and printed.

Hi CD,

The thing is, PDF is not a word processing format. **
The Text Edits tool does not change the identified PDF content.
Rather, it provides some specific comment/markup that [i]indicates[/i] desired edits to be done in the authoring file from which the PDF was created.

Provided the text is renderable (not a scanned image of text on paper) then, from the Advanced Editing toolbar, the TouchUp Text tool permits limited editing to textual page content.

** PDF:
Enables easy, reliable exchange and viewing of electronic documents independently of the environment in which they were created or the environment within which they are viewed.
An advanced imaging model, derived from PostScript (a page description language), PDF uses a structured binary file format to "paint" the content onto PDF pages.
