Delete text in PDF?

Delete text in PDF?

I just learned, via an email from Dropbox, that we have PDF edit capability in Dropbox.  In reviewing the directions and doing a trial on one of my pdf files, I do not see that TEXT deletion is included in the capabilities.  I see that entire pages can be deleted, but not specific text.  Am I viewing this correctly? Did I miss an instruction on how to accomplish deletion of text?  If not, is this a capability planned for the future?
