Why can't I edit my files in PDFelement?

Would you please follow the steps below to troubleshoot?

1. Check if your file is a scanned file, for a scanned file, you need to perform OCR for it first so you can edit files.

2. Check if your file has been password-protected, you need to enter the open passwords or permission passwords so you can edit files.

3. Check if your file has been digitally signed, for a signed file, it can’t be edited.

4. Check if your file is an XFA form, PDFelement doesn’t support the function to edit the XFA form.
