I am not exactly sure what you mean by Scaning file, but I am goign to guess you mean a file you scanned into Acrobat. If so, then you will need to first Recognize the text using OCR (Document: OCR Text Recognition: Recognize tet using OCR. Click Edit, ad set the PDF output style as Formatted Text and Graphics.

Then you can use the Touch Up Text tool to edit the text on a line by line basis, and use the Touch Up Obect tool to edit some of the images with Photoshop or some other image editing tool.

Be aware that you cannot edit the file as if you were in a page layout tool. The editing capability is only meant for small touch ups (hence the name).
