Can I change the existing words in a PDF?

You can cover, correct and annotate: place a white-out box over the old text and type the new wording on top. Editing the original text object in place needs the source document, because a PDF stores positioned glyphs rather than editable paragraphs.

Does the editor keep the file searchable?

Yes — original text stays as text, and anything you type becomes real selectable text rather than a picture.

Is there a page limit for editing?

The same 100 MB per-file ceiling as everything else. Rendering many large pages is memory-hungry, so a very long document is faster to work on after Compress PDF.
