I am sure someone on here has a much better solution for this, but I have had to reformat pdf's into two columns for a pda program we have and start the editing process using smartpdfconverter, which is available at www.smartpdfconverter.com.
This takes the pdf and converts it to rich text format so that it may be editable. I have to say I do not enjoy doing this at all, it tends to get a bit messy. Plus the document has to be converted back to pdf. I am sure there are other products out there that do this easier. For me, it is just a case of working with what I am given. Good luck!
