Please help.

What you really should do is make any changes you want to the source document and create a new PDF. You can then replace the old pages with the new, and any form fields, links, bookmarks, code, etc. will be retained. In Acrobat 9 you replaces pages by selecting: Document > Replace Pages. It's probably similar with Acrobat 8.

Thanks George_Johnson, that explains why couldn't make changes.
Unfortunately, I don't have the source document for the pdf I am trying to edit, it is HMRC pdf. Can I create a source document from the pdf file? If not I just have to leave this alone and look at a workaround. Thanks again.
