PhotoShop is not a text editor, and you can expect your text quality to drop.

Keep a backup copy of the original form in case things go wrong and to keep the form fields and scripts.

If you have created your form in Acrobat, not LiveCycle Designer, you can edit the non-form field content in the authoring program or other program. Save the edited content under a different name so you keep your original form. In Acrobat you can replace the pages of a PDF and the form fields and scripts from the original form will remain. You may need to tweak where the form fields need to be placed, but all the calculations and other scripts will be retained and only the content layer will be changed.

First, I would look at the properties of the PDF and see how the PDF was crated, and then see if I had that program.

Contact the author of the form for help.

Try OpenOffice.org office suite with the PDF import extension.
