Hi Bob, <wink> < LECTURE Tag ON > One, there is probably an Adobe Acrobat Professional manual on your hard drive - on my Macintosh, it is called "Acrobat 6 Help.pdf" - if you are on windows, well, I have no idea what it is called, but it is probably in a folder / directory called "Help" Open it, and go to page 150. - Many of use whom have worked with companies that develop software and worked on manuals are always amazed that we spend nearly as much time on manuals as we do building software - manuals that clearly walk you step by step on how to use the software, and always include it when we ship or install the software. Okay, enough lecturing about RTFM. < LECTURE Tag OFF > <smile> Well, to start, you need to know a few things. Some PDF documents are scans of paper documents and they can only be edited in applications like Adobe Photoshop. Some PDF documents may have been saved with security settings that, unless you have a password, you can't make changes. Okay, now, lets assume you want to change some text. You need to have the font installed. Lets assume you have the font installed. In Acrobat, under the Tools Menu, select the Advanced Editing menu item, and cascade select the TouchUp Text Tool - then, click and drag over the text you want to change - Save. Rinse, repeat. If you want to change the position of an object, simply go back under the Tools Menu, select the Advanced Editing menu item, and cascade select the TouchUp Object Tool, click over the object to select it, then click and drag. To change the color of an object, you need to set up Adobe Illustrator to enable you to select the object and then open it in Illustrator, change it and save it back to PDF. Go to page 157 in "Acrobat 6 Help.pdf" to learn how to set this up. Hope this helps, and remember RTFM ! ===================== Cheers, Michael Jahn 1104 Esplanade Suite 102 Redondo Beach California 90277 Home office : 310 540 6950 Fax: 310 540 8369 ===================== To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
