Not sure why you had a problem with Photoshop. I tried it with the GIMP (free) and it worked. It looked horrible, but my edits showed up. Maybe if i took more care it might even come out looking OK.

I guess my question is why you need to do this. pdf files are meant to be printed (to screen or hardcopy). It's easy enough to get the text if that's what you want. (via pdf2ps --> ps2ascii)
