Let's see what PDFedit help says for this function:

***
Delinearize

This tool converts linearized pdf files to normal pdf files. When 
executed, a file open dialog is displayed. Linearized pdf file should be 
selected. After open file is selected save dialog is opened for output 
(delinearized) file. After both files are selected, delinearization 
process starts. This may fail if input file is not linearized or it is 
not valid pdf document. In this case an error dialog is displayed. 
***

So I guess you basically have to run "DeLinearize" with no PDF document 
opened within the application, then go to "Tools -> DeLinearize" and 
provide the PDF file you want to apply this option and finally give the 
filename for the resulting PDF. 

Did you do this way?

If yes and still fails then maybe is that the PDF file has a format that 
is not suitable for that function or you are hitting some sort of bug in 
PDFedit :-?
