How to edit a saved document

Please help!
I saved a brochure as a pages document and now I cannot edit it again. It will open but it seems only to view it. I'm probably doing something wrong but it's quite a serious problem with essays in soon!
Thanks,

Hi O,
Conversion to and from Pages and Word is not perfect. Pages is not a clone of Word.
I interpret your question and reply as follows:
Perhaps you are using Pages to create your documents, then saving them as Word docs because your essays will be read by a teacher or professor who insists on Word.
Plan A.
Use Pages by all means if that is what you prefer. But first save as a Pages document. Keep that for future editing. Then Export to Word and send that as your essay assignment. If you then receive a Word doc from your teacher/professor with comments, don't try to edit that. Simply note down the comments and then revise your Pages document. Save in Pages, then export to Word.
Your Pages documents are yours. The exported Word docs are what you submit to your teacher/professor.
When you become a professor, you can insist that your students all use Pages!
Plan B.
Instead of exporting as Word, export as PDF.
Please reply if I have not understood you.
Regards,
Ian.

Hi wallacem59620634,
Are you referring to a file that you've saved to your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you'll need to download that file to your computer to edit it. Please follow these steps:
Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
Select the file that you want to edit, and then click Download. The file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer. From there, you can open it in an application that supports that file format and edit it.
Please note, that if you're working with a PDF file, you'll need to use Acrobat to edit the content. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sara

How can I edit a saved document that is within a file folder?

With just the free Reader? No way. It can be done with Acrobat.

How to edit a pfd document then save using Preview?

I received a form in pdf format. I need to fill out some blanks with text and e-mail it back to the sender. I could not figure it out using Preview. Actually I tried the Adobe acrobat reader also and had zero success. Thanks

Then you know wrong. I do this routinely.
No, you are wrong. I just tried it 2 minutes ago. Neither Adobe Acrobat 7 nor 8.1 will allow you to save a filled-in PDF form. You cannot preview. You cannot print to PDF. All you can do is Print.
Why do you need to print the filled-in form to a PDF file? You just save it; it's already a PDF file!
Because saving is disabled in Adobe Reader. Usually, if one is using a fill-in PDF form, it is some important document such as a tax form. It is always a good idea to keep an electronic form of such documents. The free Adobe Reader will not allow you to do this.
As I stated above, you can fill in and print with Preview, +but you cannot save.+
No, I can save a filled-in form to PDF using Preview. It is no longer editable, but I have an electronic copy of what I entered. That is impossible using Adobe Reader.
I really did not want to respond, and from now on I will not,
Good!
but if you say that you know Adobe Reader 8 won't let you save a filled-in PDF file, then you are spreading misinformation, and this is a disservice to those people who come here for answers. I save filled in PDF forms all the time; in your opinion, am I routinely doing the impossible?
Apparently, you must own the full Adobe Acrobat package. That will allow you to do all sorts of things with a PDF.
I think getting to the bottom of what works and what doesn't in a thread titled "How to edit a pdf document then save using Preview" is hardly doing a disservice. I appreciate your giving me the inclination to try a fill-in form using Preview again. I am quite pleased to learn that PDFView and Preview (in Tiger and Leopard) will allow you to enter data into a filled-in PDF form. Somehow I missed that. Often, it is a good idea to go back and re-try something even if you are sure you know the results. Sometimes things change underneath without your knowledge and sometime your knowledge expands to allow you to accomplish what had before been "impossible."
You can sigh all you want. But please, check your facts next time. And a bit more civility would be appreciated too. Sometimes people are wrong. That's life. The purpose of this discussion forum is not strictly to respond to questions without further elaboration. I am not here trying to make myself look smart. I am here because sometimes the questions posed are interesting and make me think. I often learn something new while trying to help someone else. That is exactly what happened in this thread. If such elaboration were not allowed, then the only people answering questions would be those who want people to think they are smart or are trying to sell some book. That would truly be a disservice.

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

Preview has limited PDF editing capability. You can get a lot more on:
http://www.pdfescape.com/
or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC. If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.

I don't know how to edit a html document

I know how to CREATE a html doc using MSWord but don't know how to edit it once it's done. Is there a Firefox add on or plug in that lets one do this? Or is a different program needed.
Specifically, I had a MSWord doc with several jpeg images and, when I converted to html, all were stripped out and I want to put them back in.
How?

I don't know either, but this is the forum for the 5g iPods, you may want to post in the Nano forum.

How to edit a PDF document in Netweaver Development Studio?

Dear Experts,
I am trying to edit a PDF file in the Netweaver Developer Studio.
Can anybody tell me how can I import and edit it in the Netweaver Developer Studio?
I am trying to do some editing.Eg. adding action buttons, adding input fields etc to the PDF file.
If somebody has previously done such things or have some idea, I would like to hear from your experiences.

Hi Satya,
Thank you for the immediate response.

However there is a problem.
I can only open the pdf files which I created by the developer studio.
When I open the pdf files those created by a scanner, they appear blank. However, when I open the same files with acrobat reader, the contects in the file appear.
I will be very thankful if you could help me in this.

How to edit test case document?

Hello All, 
 
In SOLAR02 transaction, we are uploading the test case documents in the test cases tab. 
 
Later we can create test plans & test packages. These test packages once assigned to the tester, it comes in the worklist of the tester. 
 
The tester while testing the test cases, can record the test results from the test workbench using the traffic light symbolled icon. 
 
But, my requirement is to edit the test case document and to give some explanation about what all went right and what all went wrong. 
Is that possible? 
 
Any inputs in this regard will be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks & Best regds, 
Alagammai 

Hi all,
I was looking for the similar info on the net, and I run into this, saying:
Here is some info from sdn.com
This depends on your support package level. But at least in one of the latest support packages this was made possible. You need to make a little customizing in transaction STWB_SET. Under "Notes" you must mark "Use test document". This means that in STWB_WORK when you add a note for a specific test case then a copy is made of your test script in which you can then enter results. This is then done without editing the test script template document.
If this customizing is not available then you have to apply the latest solman 7.0 support packages.
Thanks, just what was needed!!
Now test plan documents can be opened in STWB_WORK and edited there. Remark is that in creating the test plan (STWB_2), Test note drop down list should have the same value as the test document in Test cases tab (SOLAR02).
Would it be possible also to open test documents (Word, Excel, etc) in STWB_WORK in full screen somehow? That was not yet managed to be done.
Me personally haven't tried it yet, as I have to finish some other jobs first, but I thought it would be nice to share the info

I have a document in Tamil language scanned and saved in TDF format. How to edit this?

try NeoOffice or OpenOffice. I don't know what apps you have. Pages might open it or TextEdit, but, again, I don't know. All I can do is suggest. If you are really a stickler for format, if you're on that dell PC again, try saving the document as a .pdf and then putting it on the thumb drive.

How can i edit a PDF document?

would like to edit a pdf doc. how can i do that?

It is always best to edit the source document - MS Word, for example - then create a new PDF. If the source document is not available, you can try saving the PDF as a Word document. Sometimes that works reasonably well, other times not so much. It is possible to make small edits using the Content Editing tools in Acrobat, but do not expect too much. Acrobat is not a word processor.

How do I change a document that I have saved as a PDF file in Documents........I can open it but can't do anything with it.

A PDF is really an electronic print of your document & is not intended for future editing. You should always save a copy of the original document in the program that created it & use that for edits. You can then export or print the revised document to PDF, again saving the original.

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.
