If you want ready framework, you can look at Foxit Software solutions. They already have framework for Win8, but it can be expensive.

PDF is a beast of a file format. If you don't have lots of software development experience (which your question suggests you do not), writing a PDF editor from the ground up (especially if you have no team) can be a daunting task, even only considering the non-UI aspects of it.

Even should you implement a library that's 100% conforming to standards, you'll have to deal with all the faulty PDFs out there. Which very few readers, including the Win8 PDF reader, accomplish.

In case you're looking for a library, you should have a look at http://www.dynaforms.com/ - it can cope with most PDFs and has some editing functions and a renderer (in the professional version) as well and there's a Windows 8 compatible version of it.
