‘Reader’ is read only.  You need ‘Adobe Acrobat’ or ‘Adobe Acrobat Pro’ to make changes.

However, Acrobat isn’t the only game on town these days.  As PDF is an open format, there are other programs that should be able to modify it.

(I have an ancient copy of Acrobat Pro, however, so I don’t know whatthe other options are)
