Opening PDFs in Illustrator can be a sometimes thing. On the rare occasions that I have had to do such a thing, I have:
1. extracted the relevant PDF page,
2.converted the text to outlines in the extracted page (an excellent choice for that now is "TeX Font Outliner.app" from http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/PDF-Processing-Apps.zip),
3. taken the result into Illustrator, make whatever changes I need to,
4. save the page as a PDF and
5. reinsert it back into the original.
Ugly, but it works.
