Hi. When you open a document from an email it is opened read only so as 
not to corrupt the mail sent to you. You can click the pencil looking 
icon (to the left of the pdf icon) in the tool bar to convert to a new 
editable copy of the document.

In the tool bar click Edit>Changes and tick record and show.
