Our InDesign seems to have lost the ability to open/modify a PDF file. Any idea on why this might have happened or how to fix it?

We had to install InDesign CS6 recently on a Windows 8 machine and after using the program for a few days/weeks successfully, the user pointed out that it can is no longer open / edit a PDF file. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how can I solve this problem. If I uninstall and reinstall the program I'll be able to use my existing license?

InDesign has never been able to open or to modify a PDF file. Illustrator can do it, somehow, but unless the PDF file has been created in Illustrator and contain the original Illustrator file information, it is not a good idea.

PDF has been designed as an end-format and is not really intended for further editing.
