In my view, pdf and docx shoud be regarded as publication formats for 
content managed in a professional content management system. HTML and 
odt and postscript also fall in to the category of publication formats.

Word documents suffer because back in the dim ages of the late 1980s 
Microsoft decided to merge content managing with content editing with 
content publishing and abysmally failed at all of them.

However, the easiest way to edit a pdf is convert it to word using say 
https://pdf2docx.com/ There are also plenty of ways in linux to do that 
but they all take time and effort to make work.
