Re: Software to edit PDF files

[Philippe Chaperon]

Hi Peter, 

Indeed, I have been trying to use Word for Mac with no success and Preview, 
although at first promising, could not do what I need. 

My only course of action is one of the dedicated software like PDF Pen or 
PDFelement, the latter of which I have downloaded and will be experimenting 
with it to see whether it will do what I need - mostly edit a graphic and blot 
and amend some text etc. 

I have tried the conversion of the PDF into Word, but find the editing very 
tricky. But must admit I do not have any practical experience in this matter!

Many thanks Peter. 

Best Regards, 

Philippe C.

Hi Philippe, 

You mention in your message on May 6 that you have hear that MS Word will pen 
PDF files. Unfortunately, this is true only of the Windows version, and the 
results are acceptable but not excellent. Word on the Mac will also “open” 
PDFs, but the results are displayed in native PDF code (a form of Postscript) 
and therefore not useful at all to any but the most knowledgeable PS jockeys.

Of course, I heartily endorse PDFPen, along with many other products from its 
publisher Smile. Bear in mind that not only does it allow you to edit the PDF 
directly, but it will also convert the file to a Word document, as well as 
other formats. Earlier versions required a decent Internet connection to 
achieve this, but recent versions come with the conversion routines built in.

You can also convert the PDF to a Word format using current versions of PDF 
Reader, and this DOES require the Internet; btu it’s free, so it might be the 
best option for a one-off job.

Hi Ronni, 

Your email came in time as I was finding it difficult or near impossible to do 
what I wanted using Preview. I have just downloaded the trial version to see 
how I go and at the price of $59.95 (US?) it is much cheaper than I expected. 

If it works I will purchase it and hope to have some use for it in the future. 

Many thanks Ronni and all the many who have given me suggestions, much 
appreciated. I was starting to panic … fortunately WAMUG experts came to the 
rescue as usual. 

Good night all and Best Regards,

Philippe C

Re: Software to edit PDF files

Hi John, 

Thanks for the suggestion John, indeed reading on it I is a powerful 
application which will do what I need and much, much more, and this is 
reflected by its price.  Unfortunately it would not be worth me spending the 
$190.00 for a one-off use, and sadly its PDFpen 10 it also quite expensive at 
$119.99. I have no doubt that for the serious user they are worth the expense 
though. 

I am experimenting with Preview at the moment and will see if this can do the 
trick. Another venue would be to hire Adobe’s PDF-editing application for one 
month, do the job and leave it at that!

Thanks John & Best Regards,

Philippe C

Re: Software to edit PDF files

[Graeme Winters]

Yes Brian and Philippe,
 Peter H has over the years shown us many useful hints and he and others in the 
group are continuing to do so.
In recent meetings at Willetton we heard about 
invaluable tips on scanning, 
on the use of a wireless Connect drive to gain access while interstate 
to documents on your home system 
and last month a great demonstration on how to gain more use from using 
Notes.

The agenda circulated really does not do justice to the valuable information 
provided each and every month through attendance.

As I said at the last meeting I have rarely gone home after a meeting without 
gaining something of value.

You are right, you are missing out on a lot of goodies!!

Re: Software to edit PDF files

[Philippe Chaperon]

Great help Brian, many thanks again. 

P.S. Indeed Peter H. has shown us many useful tricks throughout the years, 
which I did notice when I used to attend the WAMUG meetings in the past. At one 
of the meeting years and years ago Peter gave us a demo of Graphic Converter 
and so convinced and ‘converted’ was I that I have purchased it and been using 
it ever since. Have kept it updated to its latest version being V10.6 due to it 
being so stable and so very easy to use!  

Must make the effort and attend the monthly meetings again as I am missing out 
on a lot of goodies. 

Take care Brian, 

Philippe

Thank you for that suggestion and will try using Review first. 

I just leaned that Word will open the PDF file, allow editing and addition of

option if Review is not doing what I need. 

Many thanks again.

Good morning dear WAMUG’ers, 

Can someone please recommend a ‘cheapish’ applications to allow me to edit a 
PDF file? As I need to edit pdf files very rarely I am trying not to have to go 
with Adobe which I suspect have all their applications on a subscription basis 
and would be fairly expensive. 

Ease of use and reliability is important in view of the urgency. 

Many thanks for any suggestions you may have. 

Best Regards,

Re: Software to edit PDF files

[Brian Risbey]

sent before finished.

Peter H showed us how to do a ‘Save As', the whole room gasped O!

Go to File menu, and press Option and 'Save As' appears! Magic!

Hi Brian, 

Thank you for that suggestion and will try using Review first. 

I just leaned that Word will open the PDF file, allow editing and addition of 
some graphics and then new file can be ‘printed to PDF’ or my choosing the 
‘Print’ command then choose the save as .pdf. I will fall back on the Word 
option if Review is not doing what I need. 

Many thanks again. 

Best Regards,

Fwd: Software to edit PDF files

[Brian Risbey]

Thank you Philippe

Yes, Word can work!

Just be aware that sometimes a pdf is just an image/ photo and can’t be copied 
and pasted use the text select tool from the menu… and,
Peter h showed us how to use
