Thanks!

Why can't you use Acrobat?

Illustrator.

The real problem is that PDF was never intended to be an editable format, so it tends to loose the very things that make text nice to edit.

PDFpen from Smile On My Mac:
http://www.smileonmymac.com/PDFpen/

Show PDFs in single, facing-page, multi-page, and multiple facing-page views

Fill out and save PDF forms

Create cross-platform fillable PDF forms (requires PDFpenPro)

Re-order pages in a PDF by drag & drop

Insert pages from one PDF into another (drag & drop or copy/paste)

Remove pages from a PDF

Overlay text and images onto PDF (fill in forms, sign purchase orders)

Scribble your signature or anything else directly onto a PDF document

Use with pagesender for a complete fax turn-around solution

Automate PDF manipulations with AppleScript

I haven't used this application yet, but I do highly recommend their PageSender fax software.
