Could you post the original and changed file?
I suspect that the original one is linearized PDF, which is not prepared
to be modified. You can check that in the Revisions combobox (in
toolbars) which contains "Linearized PDF" string in such a case. 

PDFedit 0.4.1 only prints warning that document is linearized but
doesn't change to read-only mode (this is done in current CVS version,
because more people run in this problem in past).

JFYI if a document is linearized, you have to delinearize it before you
start your editation work (main menu: Tools -> Delinearize, just make
sure that source and target files are *not same*).
