your document is linearized and this means that it can't be directly edited (this was already discussed in this mailing list several times, so you can find the reason in the archive). If you want to edit such a document (they can be distinguished by Linearized PDF string in revisions toolbox), you have to delinearize it in the first step (Tools->Delinearize) to some other file and edit that file. > > pdfedit 0.4.1 does not accept text typed into this form.

As this led to some bug reports, we have changed the implementation to harden warning into warning into read-only document. > The file is an extracted page that also contained proofs.
