How do I modify a PDF file that I created

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
From Adobe I selected 'Create' and choose 'PDF from File' and I selected a Word document.
Adobe converted the Word document to a PDF and it look great!!!!!
I want to modify the PDF file and change the 'text', but it will not let me.
Will I have to convert the Word document to a PDF everytime I want to change 'text'?
Thanks!

If you are saying you created a form from the DOC file, that may be a bit of an issue. First, you would generally edit the label in just the way that was mentioned with the text edit tool. However, it may depend on how you created the form. The creation process is important and that may be the problem. If it was created with the Designer tool, then you can not edit anything in Acrobat. Designer creates a XML form that is not compatible with the Acrobat tools. You may be able to edit it in Designer, but not Acrobat. You should still be able to go back to WORD and recreate the PDF.
If you created the form manually and don't want to deal with recreating the fields, the print the WORD doc to a new PDF using the Adobe PDF printer. Then open your form and use Replace pages to put the revised document behind the fields. The fields will remain intact.
Again, if the form was created in Designer, you may have to do such changes in Designer.

How do I download a PDF file that I created?

i have created a pdf file - so how do I save it onto my windows filing system?

Hi ticor17,
If you used the Adobe PDF Pack to create a PDF file, it was saved to your online account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. Log in to your account, click the Files tab, and then select the file that you want to save to your computer. Then, just click the Download link at the top of the file list.
Please let us know how it goes.

How do I edit a PDF file that was created with Acrobat 6

I was given a PDF catalog file from one of my manufactures to use on my web site, I was told that I need to edit the file and take out the last page which is for my eyes only not the public, but the way they instructed me to do so has not worked, so does anybody have an idea on how to do this?
Also they have tried to send me a corrected file with the last page removed but the file size is to big to be sent through email. Any help would be great. Thank You

dgnvarsitydad I think you are posting in the wrong thread.

Ok thank you I will try this but how will I know if there is a security set and also my mistake what I downloaded was Acrobat X Pro which is $200 from Adobe's web site. I am not very familiar with Acrobat but I will give it a try thank you again. Gary
To see if there is security, open the document, go to File>Properties>Security. It will tell you what is allowed and what is not allowed.
Keep in mind that Acrobat Pro is not $200 unless you have a qualifying older version to upgrade from. If not, it's more like $449.

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer?? I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it. There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing. How do I get rid of it? Cannot select it. Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it. The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it. I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

Hey needadobehelp10,
Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
Is this really you wish for?
Please let me know.

How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

Depends on the extent of the edits. You will need Acrobat in any case. If the edits or minor, you can use the text edit tool. For major edits, you need to request the original file be sent or see if you can Save As a DOC or related file type. PDFs are not really structured for editing and you are asking for a lot of grief if you want to do much. Exporting is the best way, or even better simply asking the author for the original (non-PDF type).

If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

How can I edit a pdf file that was imported?

I want to edit a pdf/jpeg file that I imported/placed in AI? Can that be done?

Steven,
Illy just sees a bunch of pixels as do the rest of us.
You may use Image/Live Trace with suitable settings, expand, and let her work with the resulting vector artwork.
Or you may draw a (set of path(s) round the part(s) you want to keep (turning htem into a compound path in case of multiple paths, then select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make. That will only hide the outlying parts (unless you do the destructive deed), and you only have limited ways of (further) editing.
Or you may work in Photoshop or similar.

Need To Open An Encrypted PDF File That I Created. No Password.

I have Acrobat 8. I created a document and then tried to put security on it. Now I cannot even open the document. It gives me the message: "You do not have access rights to the encrypted document." I never entered a password or anything. I need to get this document reopened. Also, I pasted some JPEG signatures into the document. My reason for security measures was to make sure nobody could edit the document and right click and save as the signature JPEG. First thing first- getting the document opened. Then let me know how to just make it so that someone can only read and print the document and not be able to edit any typewriter insertions. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Dom,
Let's start with Certificate Security is not the same as Password Security. If you had encrypted the PDF file using Password Security, then whatever password you used to lock the document you would use to unlock the document. It's pretty straight forward, and in the cryptography world it would be know as symmetrical security in that you use the same key (password) to lock and unlock the file. Think of it as using a key to lock your front door to your house when you leave and the exact same key to unlock the door when you return, that's what symmetrical security is.
Certificate security is a totally different beast. Certificate Security uses asymmetrical encryption meaning there are two different keys involved, a public key and its corresponding private key. When these keys are generated there is a voodoo that goes on that gives these two keys a symbiotic relationship in that (and this is the basic tenet of asymmetrical encryption) what one key locks only its corresponding other key can unlock. Either key can lock (really encrypt) something and only its corresponding other key can unlock (decrypt) it once it's been locked. Of these two seemingly magical keys one is designated as a private key that only the key owner has access to, and the other is designated as a public key that the whole world has access to. If you lock something with your private key then only its corresponding public key can unlock it, and yes that means that not even the private key can unlock it. You can also lock something using the public key in which case only the corresponding private key can successfully unlock it.
When you encrypt (think of that as "lock") a PDF file using Certificate Security you are encrypting the file using one or more public keys. That is, you encrypt the file for a list of recipients where each recipient has provided you with their public key and they in turn will decrypt the document using their private key. The number of recipients is theoretically limitless, but practically there is a limit in that each recipient you include will cause the file size to grow a little and at some point you'd make the file size too large for the computer to handle, but for the sake of our discussion think unlimited number of recipients. When you encrypted the file you were asked to select a recipient. If you don't also select yourself as a recipient then you end up locking yourself out of the file, and that's exactly what happened in your case. I see from above that you are using version 8, but I believe it was version 9 where we added the warning to make sure to add yourself as a recipient so as to not lock yourself out of the file (I can't remember if it was version 8 or 9, but since you didn't mention that warning I'll assume that we didn't add the warning until 9).
Unless you added yourself at the time you encrypted the file there is no going back to add yourself later because if you can't open the file you can't edit the file. You are locked out forever. You could ask the person that you included as a recipient to see if they can open the file and remove security, but you would have had to make them a document owner when you encrypted the file. If you restricted their editing capabilities then they won't be able to remove security, but at least you could see the contents of the file.
I know this has all been a bit geeky, and I haven't gone into how to procure a public/private key pair, but I don't want to dump too much data on you in one post. If you need more information let me know and I'll be glad to provide it.

How do I print a pdf file that is printing too light to read??

I have a pdf that I must print to buy a home. It will not print as is. I shot screen shots, brought them into Photoshop, made them jpgs and adjusted the gamma to make them very black and white.
It helped but the pages cannot be read. There is plenty of ink in the printer.
I need to send this paperwork tomorrow with a check...
WHAT TO DO?

I have this problem as well, prints come too light out of my Brother5370DW and consulted several channels on internet. Printing from pc was never a problem, only from mac: jpgs, tifs, txt, from Preview, Safari, Firefox, Photoshop, Acrobat etc whenever the document it was not full b/w. Especially screenshots from Google maps were just illegible. I just tried to print a pdf with dark grey text, very light as well. Then it ocurred to me to change the color matching profile in the printer's dialogue window: instead of automatic (which is Adobe RGB (1998) by default, I choose Black & White, and finally it prints fine: black what is supposed to be black, idem for dark greys, light greys.

How to save a scanned pdf file that has been rotated?

I scanned several pages of a book but I evidently did it upside-down. I rotated the pages 90 degrees, twice, and then saved the document with a different name. But when I open the new document, the pages are still upside-down. How can I correct this so that I don't have to re-scan all the pages?

Thank you. As it happens, I'm still running Acrobat 9, so the drop-down commands are a bit different:
Document > Rotate Pages allows you to rotate selected pages. It worked, and then when I saved the document and re-opened it, it was exactly as I wanted it!
What had not worked was using the Rotate Clockwise option after right-clicking on a page. That allows the user to view the rotated document but not to save it in that view.
Thanks again.
Brian
