I'm pretty sure but is you can't but is there any way you can just create a new PDF with a blank page and start typing on that and make tables and such because I have been just converting from Word to PDF and then edit the PDF but any dramatic or big changes have to be done through Word because most of the time the formatting won't stay on the PDF. So I'm wondering if there is a way to just create a new PDF from scractch because maybe there is some option that I don't see. Thanks.

I don't understand what you're trying to do.
And as I said, it IS possible to create a blank PDF in Acrobat Pro 7. Press down shift and then follow the rest of my instructions.

Yea well suppose I have only the PDF file but I want to edit that file and every time I made edits to that file it messes the format up so what I did was that I converted that PDF into a word document and then edited in the word document and when I was done I converted it to a PDF. My question now is do you know any good online converters that go from PDF to Word because the one that I use isn't that good.

Hi ayusuf,
While, over the years, some touch up abilities have been added, PDF is still
not a format designed to support content format, layout, etc. editing functions.
Simply put, it is not "an authoring file format".
Acrobat 7 Pro provides the Adobe PDFMaker which provides for processing output
PDF that can retain the layout, format, and interactivity of MS Word files.
The key aspect is which version of MS Office/Word is used.
AA7pro's PDFMaker supports Office 2000, XP, and 2003.
If you are using Office 2007, Acrobat support begins with Acrobat 8.1.
See: [url=http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html]Version Compatibility of PDFMakers[/url]
Provided you have compatible Office/Word and Acrobat Standard/Pro versions installed,
there is no better Word to PDF method than PDFMaker when generating PDF from MS Word.
There are, at the "high end" equivalent third-party processes; but not, on the whole, "better".
Configuration of the PDFMaker is important.
To maintain fidelity to layout/format/font related information the PDF created must be a Tagged PDF.
So, "Enable accessibility and reflow with Tagged PDF" is necessary.
For bookmarks, links, etc. other configuration options must be selected.
Be well...

Using my free abracadabraTOOLS for this purpose should be less time consuming since you can directly choose among formats :http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15;-)
You didn't specify which version you have of Acrobat, but you can just create a blank PDF by going to File - Create PDF - From Blank Page...
If you have version 7 or earlier you will need to press down Shift when you go to the File menu to see it.
