Re: [libreoffice-users] Newbie help needed please.

Hi.
It seems the text has been converted to a shape.
If you open Libreoffice Draw, and then from there open the PDF you can 
edit it.

If you know the font used or can find one that looks the same, you can 
delete the characters you want to change (or the whole date) and add 
text (insert text box in the top row of icons, or F2) for the date you 
require.

If you right click on the existing text shapes, you can inspect Line and 
Area (Fill), note the settings and fill colour so you can make the new 
text the same.

You can drag guide lines from the rulers to mark the position of the old 
text to be deleted, so you can place the new text in the same place and 
same size.
