Don't your PDF viewer support that feature?

Viewers don't support this feature by definition; the whole idea of modifications of PDF (which is of course possible to do, to some extent) is wrong. Please see my answer. (Off-topic stuff, anyway...)

This is not a valid question and can be even off-topic. You did not mention anything related to programming.
But I'll give you the main idea: even though PDFs can be modified (you don't have software to do it, but it is possible), they are not designed to be editable. Normal workflow is one-way: you create some document and support it, and, eventually, produce PDF from it; and a lot in information is lost, so you always need to keep the real document source.

PDF is more like printing, a kind of electronic paper. If you have some electronic document, you can support it, modify many times. But when someone sends you this document printed on paper, you are not looking for the ways to modify it, right? Because the original source is not preserved on paper. PDF is pretty much the same. Unlike paper, you can modify the PDF file, but it does not contain all that information the original document has.
