As I do not use proprietary applications, I cannot know what does that
propriety non-free software Acrobat Industrial Complex does. I may
recommend some software here.

Name: flpsed 0.7.3-1
Description     : A WYSIWYG PostScript annotator
URL             : http://flpsed.org/flpsed.html

This software has very simple feature to edit text in PDF documents or
save PS pdocuments to PDF.

In general when I want to change PDF, I sometimes convert it to
picture and change the picture by using ImageMagick tools. And often I
may import PDF into Gimp software and then edit it as pictures. That
is often for reasons to insert signature in contracts.
