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.

Earlier (0.3.2) version doesn't enable direct editing of linearized
documents too, but it only prints warning and let you edit document with
the high risk that you will damage your document. As this led to some
bug reports, we have changed the implementation to harden warning into
warning into read-only document.

This is another issue (I have reported it as bug
http://pdfedit.petricek.net/bt/view.php?id=258), because
ReadOnlyException doesn't pop up to the user and it is hidden in the
scripting error message. 
This is, however, more usability than functional bug.
