how to edit Adobe file

Most certainly not in Word.

pdf files, I'm assuming that is what you mean by 'Adobe files', are 'fixed'
files. Their layout is frozen so they look the same on any machine and can
not be edited.

If you still want to edit such a pdf file, you will have to convert the file
to something else, edit it, and then save the result back as a pdf. The best
tool to do the conversion of pdf files to Word documents is probably Acrobat
Professional. Unfortunately, that is a rather expensive product to use for a
few simple conversions. There are a few online places that will do the
conversion for free (e.g. http://www.convertpdftoword.net/) but you will
have to test them yourself to see if they are good enough for you.

A number of OCR software packages e.g. Finereader will also handle PDF files
and convert to editable text.

If you are looking for something simple, you can use PDFXChange
Viewer:
http://www.tracker-software.com/

They have a lot of programs for sale--look for the free Viewer.
Despite its name it will let you enter text via the Typewriter tool---
look for that on a toolbar. You can color text, highlight it, and
enter your own text. Its also good for just plain, old-fashioned PDF
viewing.

Adobe PDF is not editable file format. You will need to convert it into e.g. doc file first.

You can use some online coverters like this one:
