There were many PDF readers/writers etc in alt.comp.freeware within
the last couple of weeks.
Try a few from this search:

Watch out for any that may contain spyware or try at places like:

Yes, readers and writers but NOT editors. The OP wants to EDIT an existing
pdf, not make one or read one. AFAIK you can't EDIT a pdf without Acrobat.

OpenOffice.org can directly create PDFs.

Unless it was a simplistic PDF file created by using a "writer" (like a
PDF "printer"), the OP would lose all hierarchy within the document, the
indexing, and all other features. That is, the user would get the
content but it would be flat and look and act nothing like the original
..pdf that they got.

There is more than one way to skin a cat.
Surely he can convert the PDF to something else, like a Word document
and then convert that to PDF.
I was trying to give him a free way of doing it.
There are other applications that will edit PDF instead of Acrobat and
far cheaper.
Here is one that will edit directly:
