The solution is to use a PDF reader that allows editing even when the PDF itself does not. I recommend Foxit Reader, which, among other things, lets you add text to any PDF. The first time you run Foxit, it'll ask if you want to make it the default PDF viewer. That's entirely up to you, but I find Foxit to be smaller, faster, and less intrusive than Adobe Reader (though it doesn't offer quite the same level of security). To edit a PDF, start by opening it in Foxit instead of Reader. Next, click Comments, Typewriter Tools, Typewriter Tool.
Acrobat allows you to save the original pdf file as a Word file (.docx). The file looks exactly the same in word as it did as a pdf, but you can now easily edit it. Then just republish as a pdf once the changes are made. In my opinion, the best choice for editing pdf files it to convert Pdf to Word documents.
