    I created a form using the Create Form function in Acrobat Pro . There is a section to which I need to add information but when I click on the Edit button I receive an error that tells me, " This is a secured document. Editing is not permitted ." I did not place any security on this document when I created it.

    Can someone please help me figure out how to edit this form, and others I have created for which I am receiving the same error?

    That's what I suspected, but I wanted to be sure - and that gave you a chance to discover it yourself. When you use a "distribute" forms workflow, or use a shared review process, or add extended Reader rights (which is actually what the first two tasks to as well), Acrobat prevents you from editing the document. You can however create a copy that no longer has these rights, using the "Save a copy" command.
