I suspect that you  are talking about very different things: you are
talking about editing using general file editor (and this is
definitely requires an expert knowledge), while he refers to something
like editing using Acrobat (or at least Apple Preview).

But there is a third way: incorporate existing pdf into your own. For
example, using eso-pic (LaTeX package, there other packages with the
similar functionality) one can use existing pdf as background and
overprint it. It may work if filling some "forms" (I mean not real pdf
forms with  fields but rather "picture of the form").  One can also
"remove" some part of the document just placing white rectangle over
it and may be something else over rectangle.
