pages.app editing

I have my manuscript available to me in .pdf and .png formats but when I try to add it to a new pages doc it cannot be edited . What do I need to do so I can grab all my 100 plus pages of my manuscript text and copy and paste them into my pages doc so I can edit it?

If these two formats are not easy/possible to work with what text format should I be able to edit in pages?

Can I use mac's TextEdit to achieve this task?

Thank you

Neither png or pdf are "text" formats. and produced on your Mac, both are images. Text Edit is, as the name implies, a text editor.

Your best choice is probably the application on which the manuscript was produced, and a copy of the original text document to edit.
