RE: [PDF-Basics] Silly Question Probably...

[Miller, James]

Adobe 6 has a header and footer batch tool built in.  You can specify exactly where on the page you want to overlay them too.  It's been flawless so far for me.  If it's possible to convince management to upgrade it might be well worth it just as a timesaver.   ~James   I used Adobe 5.0. The changes would be minor. I have to insert an identification page to nearly 100 pdfs a day. I only have to edit a 6 digit number. It appears in two places on the page. To edit it in Word and then convert it into a pdf 100 times a day is exactly what I am trying to avoid. We had a page that I was able to edit until recently when my employer decided it was time for a change in the page's look. I was sent the new style in a Word document. I converted it into a pdf but it seems to be just an image and not edit friendly. I am now crying. :) Any ideas on solutions to my debacle?   Thanks.<<<<   >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/16/2004 12:20:47 PM >>> PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ It's fair to say that PDFs are not intended as working documents. There is a built-in text touch-up tool, but it is very limited. Those who need better editing capabilities can purchase Pitstop (www.enfocus.com) which provides extended editing capabilities. It also costs dearly...I think it's around $500.00. The best advice is the simplest and the cheapest. Whenever possible, always make changes to your original document, and make a new PDF.

The simple answer to your question (...edit it once in pdf form?) is Yes but for other than very minor changes you would be far better off changing the original Word file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of buddy k Sent: 16 February 2004 16:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] Silly Question Probably...

I've tried editing it as a pdf with no success. Is it conceivable to be able to edit it once in pdf form? If so could someone let me know what I may be doing wrong?
