...and if you do, of course, please load the new version back up for the next user :-)

Not easily. The PDF is sort of a snapshot of the original file - which was probably created in Word or Publisher. I wish people wouldn't load the PDF files as it does make them virtually uneditable.

The main tool for PDF editing is Adobe Acrobat, but that's pretty pricey. (Adobe Reader is free.) You can try downloading one of the free "PDF Editors" from the internet but it's often better to see if the poster of the file is still active in the Forums and ask them to post the Word version or to recreate the file in a tool you can easily use.
