Yes, but you do *not* change the PDF itself. You just enter something in
form fields provided in the PDF. And you can then save the PDF with the
filled form. But when you open it again you will see, that the form
fields are still there and can be changed again - but nothing else,
since you will not change the PDF.

It's like filling a form on a website - you do not change the website
itself just by filling a form and sending it.
