@Lickface What stops you from doing that is that the credit from Form IT-267 has to flow to Form IT-201-ATT, and from there to line 42 of Form IT-201, and it affects all the calculations on Form IT-201 below line 42. That's the entire last two pages of IT-201. That's an awful lot to change with a PDF editor, and there's too much chance of making a mistake recalculating two pages of the return by hand. And you can't e-file a PDF or a return that you've modified outside of TurboTax. You would have to file it by mail. And of course, doing what you propose would cancel the TurboTax accuracy guarantee.
