I am a complete novice and I do not want to come on the forum and upset
anyone with such a simple task.

I have Downloaded and installed LibreOffice 5.4.7.

I have two PDF Files and all I need to do is change the text and I can not
ever work out how to do a simple edit.

All I have to do is change 2017 to 2009 on the first PDF file and change
1967 to 1959 on the other PDF file.

​Hi,

For that kind of changes LibreOffice might not be your best option.
You should look into InkScape (it's also free software: ​
https://inkscape.org/en/ ). It can open PDF file with much more fidelity
than LibreOffice and allow very simple text changes (just double-click on
the text you want to edit).

LibreOffice is more of an authoring tool, and as said by others PDF is
*not* a format designed to be easily editable.

Great news.

I did not know that Inkscape would edit PDF files.

I just used it on Linux, instead of Corel Draw that is installed on Windows 10.

Will look into that myself.  I do hope this answer helps the original poster.

I use Draw to edit simpler PDFs and it works very well as in this posters case, even a PDF with 20000 items, Inkscape I use for more complex PDFs or where the edits are more substantial.
