How do I change text in Preview

I made an "hours sign" for my shoppe, I need to change one of the days and I can't seem to do it. I open Annotation but it does not let me change text. The best I got was a gray area masking out the words and typed over but that doesn't look so hot. How can I just replace one word?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OS X Preview does not edit the text of a PDF document. It can do limited image editing, and it can add annotations.


You can get PDF editing utilities, such as PDFpen

which has a free trial.

Or try one of these
