Can I change text that is already in the PDF?

Not in place — that would require reconstructing the content stream and reflowing a page whose layout is fixed. Ream lets you cover and replace: draw a paper-coloured box, then type over it.

What fonts can I use?

The built-in standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier) plus any TTF or OTF you drop into the font slot. Embedded fonts render identically everywhere.

Will my edits survive a later Compress?

Yes, but they become part of the rendered image. Edit last if you want crisp editable text.

Edit a PDF

Click anywhere on a page and start typing. Drop an image, draw a box, sign a corner. Edits are layered on the original page, so nothing already in the document is destroyed.
