As I understand you, you are using Adobe _Reader_ on Fedora. I think you have in fact answered your own question. :-) Adobe Reader does just that - reads. I can't edit anything on Etch. I can't even copy and paste from a document in Reader. Presumably you have the full program on Windows? It sounds like it. That can edit pdfs. I thought that it was available for Linux if one wanted tro pay for it, but I cannot at the moment find it on Adobe's site. I could only find the full program for Mac OS X and Windows.
