Adobe/Acrobat - which programme will allow editing?

I currently have Adobe Reader X, which doesn't allow editing.

I urgently need to download a version which will allow editing of PDF files. I'm doing my Profs course for law and I have to complete an online assignment by Monday which requires completing PDF files, among other tasks.

Can someone tell me which version of Adobe/Acrobat (I believe they're similar, or maybe even the same thing??) it would be best to purchase for this purpose? I.e. which version will allow editing of PDF files?

And also - once I download this programme, will I need to convert my existing PDF files to a different format? Or will they open with the new programme as they are? I.e. is there an "open with..." function on the PDF files which will allow me to use the new programme to open them, and hence use the editing function included in this programme?

    Reader is the free version that allows you to read pdfs. Acrobat is the full blown version that allows you to edit.

    Adobe is the brand name of Acrobat. Any version of Acrobat will allow you to edit.

    FYI, if you have Word check to see if your version allows you to save as a pdf. Newer versions allow this. The pdf is compatible with all pdf readers.
