How to edit words and phrases in a pdf

Hi :)
Normally when i open a pdf document in LibreOffice each line of text seems to be contained in it's own text-box which i can then move around or perhaps delete but i can't seem to edit the words inside the line, eg to correct typos. 

Is it possible to edit pdfs in the same way that we can edit Odts?  Do i need to add an Extension?
Regards from
Tom :)

If I open a pdf that contains encoded text I can edit the pdf text in
LO,  but a pdf may not have text encoded in it,  in which case you would
have to do OCR etc.

Hi :)
Thanks :)  Is there an OpenSource OCR that works with LibreOffice?

Look at the OCR output file format. Ideally it should be  Writer type
document.

I though this was about PDF, so if you find something that does the
OCR thing on PDF files and save the result as PDF, it ”works” with
everything that can open PDF, including LibreOffice.

I have used OCRAD to scanacontract to text for writer but Tesseract
seems to get better results.
I found that PDFs produced from MSO I cannot edit, some I can't even
print properly. Must be the format they are produced in. Interesting

You do not know how to edit a shape's text?
Try a double-click on the shape.

Hi :)
Ahh, that is interesting.  I thought i had tried that type of thing before without success.  Now i just need to find a way of getting all the different lines from all the different boxes into a single box rather than 1 for each line. 

Thanks Andreas! :)  It deals with simple typos in single words, as i had originally asked in my question. 
Regards from
Tom :)
