Thats what I did until I accidently deleted some type from a major advertiser and didn't notice that it was gone. But this never happened with previous versions of Acrobat. There must be, I hope, a way around it.

PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but sometimes I need to edit a picture and there are those "layers", or whatever, so I delete them one by one until I get to the actual image underneath. When you right click on the image and click "Edit Image" the image opens up in Photoshop automatically (you have to set that up in Preferences) and then you can make changes, save them, and the image will automatically update within the PDF. You have to be certain when deleting the "layers" that they don't have any page information attached to them, but in my experience I've been able to delete the vestigial garbage and get to what I want without upsetting the layout. ~James __________________________________________________________________ Dan said, Perhaps someone can tell me what happens when I try to edit image in Acrobat 6. In 5 I could select a picture, open it in Photoshop with the edit image tool and edit the photo with no trouble. In Acrobat 6 however, when I try to select a photo there will be several "layers" of blue outline boxes which mostly have nothing in them. Sometimes they will have type or art in them but not always. If I do edit the picture and save it when I reopen the PDF the layers are all askew and the original ad is now useless. I put layers in quotes because I tried the Acrobat 6 layers tool and it showed no layers. I am not saying that the original artist did not have layers, just that they do not show up in the Acrobt 6 layers tool. Further, I know that some of the PDFs I get are simply newspaper pages produced by unsophisticated (in graphics) editors. Surely they are not deliberately creating layers of any sort. The problem is especially severe if they use PageMaker 7, any photo imported into a frame will have an additional layer, or whatever it is. Can anybody tell me how to deal with these things?
