I an new to acrobat 8 and I receive files from others that are pdf,s and I need a software that will allow me to open the pdf and make changes to it be fore printing. Now I have to send it back to the customer and have them make the changes and then send it back. Can Acrobat 8 do this?
The way you are doing it now (getting the original file edited in the originating software used to create the file) is the Correct way to do this. PDF is a finished file format and not meant for any serious editing effort.
Having said that, if the edits are very minor like fixing a couple typos, then yes you can do this with Acrobat 8 Professional. Even then, this could be problematic- say you don't have the fonts used in the PDF on your system and you make a small edit for a typo- you'll be stuck substituting the font you don't have with a font on your system that Acrobat chooses as the closest match.
Hope that helps,
