How do I alter a PDF stored in my documents

I have an IMac. I created and scanned a resume into my documents. How do I edit or must I retype

A PDF file cannot be edited as is. You would need a converter program to convert the PDF into a document that can be edited in a text editor or word processor. There are many such utilities. I use Wondershare PDF Converter Pro 3.5.3 that works quite well in converting PDFs into several formats such as for Word. They also have their Wondershare PDF Editor 3.6.1.
In reality almost any OCR software that can work on a PDF file could provide a similar service although less elegant.

Alter settings pdf after original save?

Using adobe acrobat 7.0 professional on mac.
I scanned something recently, saved it as a pdf. Upon the first time saving (every time with first save of new document) I had the options. To save as 5 version or later all that stuff! Once it has been saved as a pdf. no longer these options are available.When when using the command 'save as' and under the format drop-box 'format as pdf', to the right there is 'settings' button. Though this is faded and not available to select. It is available when saving it as other filetypes.
How can I format my document so it can send to windows?
Having trouble emailing to windows systems as they can't open.

Go in menu: Advanced>PDF Optimizer...
It will give you different settings to change, and after will take you with those settings to "Save as..." dialog box.
But I did not figure out so far what to do if I want to replace the previous settings to the new ones permanently. Where this change of "standart" preset to "custom" may be done?

Footer sizing alters for PDF but not RTF

Hi
Just wondered if anybody has come across this issue. In word you can adjust the size and therefore the location of where the footer starts. I tried doing this and it saves fine in the template. When I preview to PDF the footer setting pulls through correctly, the RTF preview however seems to ignore it - that being it is always fixed at 1.27cm?
If anybody has a word around I'd appreciate the help.
Otherwise is this another one I can add to the wish list for the next release?
I'm running the latest version of BIP.
Thanks
Chris.

Tim,
I am getting same issue.
Do you know how I can solve this issue.
I have a very specific requirement to put a scan line in bottom edge only on first from certain distance from bottom edge and I am having very hard time doing this becuase of PDF printing through oracle versus opening on desktop and printing are different.

What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?

I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all. The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way. The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms.
I just don't understand that. How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?

Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
History lesson:
Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms.

When I create a .pdf from an Office file, I have to close the original file before using. Help?

When I create a .pdf file from an Office 2010 file (.docx or .xlsx), I cannot move, rename or alter the .pdf file until I first close the original Office file. If I try, I get a message that the file is in use. Is this due to some sort of cache setting? Any suggestions?

I believe we are using Adobe drivers within Office to generate the PDF through the print function. All of the settings appear to be Adobe. If I launch Distiller separately and navigate to the setting I get the exact same settings form I get when I go through the print properties settings.

How to edit pdf so that you can save entered information in Reader?

I have Acrobat Professional 8 at home as part of Adobe CS3 but we only have acrobat reader at work.
My supervisor has an evaluation form that is setup in pdf format and has fillable information boxes such as name, job description, etc. However, you can not save the information you enter into the document. I need to know how I can alter the pdf in Pro 8 so that the information can be saved with just reader.
This is probably a simple one to those who use these programs a lot, but unfortunately I don't so I am kind of behind the learning curve here.
Any help????

When you are talking a business form, the application may be different than the original post. I would suggest you read part 15 of the AA9 EULA (license agreement) that is available from adobe.com. This is where the 500 use limit might apply.
Before you purchace AA9 for the feature, it would be wise to be sure your application would be in line with the EULA, or you will be real ticked at buying AA9 for the feature and then not being able to use it legally. You may want to indicate why you want folks to be able to save the form. If it will not be submitted, then I think you will be fine with AA9.
If it is for submission, then you may have a problem with the 500 use limit. However, saving is not needed to submit the data! The data can simply be imported to the PDF and so you don't need it in that form.

Apple's PDF Maker

I've run into a problem creating PDFs out of Quark 6.52 and 7.0 probably due to an image or a font being used. In desperation to provide a PDF for a client I have used "Save As PDF" in the print dialog to make a PDF.
My question is: Can I alter that PDF maker to produce a PDF with "As Is" color and also increase the resolution of the images being used in the document?

That is not true. I've opened a pdf made that way in Acrobat Professional and all the elements in the pdf were separate. Even the text was editable. The problem is I need to create the pdf with one inch bleed, registration and trim marks. so a tiff would not work here.

Display PDF in JSP using a content selector

Hello,
We are running on WLP 8.1 sp4. We have documents (Word and PDF) stored in the Weblogic Portal content management system. We have made several tries, but are unsuccessful in rendering a PDF inside a JSP using Content Selector tags. We can get a link to display and other properties of the content type, but we have not been able to show the actual binary property of the PDF. Has anyone climbed this mountain before, any help will be greatly appreciated!
Rob
The following displays links to the documents, but not the actual document.
<pz:contentSelector rule="novel_flu_db_archived_reports"
id="fluArchiveQuery" />
<utility:notNull item="<%=fluArchiveQuery%>">
<utility:forEachInArray array="<%=fluArchiveQuery%>" id="docA" >
<cm:getProperty id="docA" name="file" conversionType="html" />
<ad:render id="docA" />
</utility:forEachInArray>
</utility:notNull>

Thank you for the response.
Option 1 - would be great, but I am having problems getting this to work (see thread "Problem accessing a file stored in the CMS from link on JSP")
Option 2 - I need to look into, as we need to be compliant with Accessibility standards and I can't remember if IFrames pose any problems for screen readers.
Option 3 - introduces an additional step to the work flow, we would like to avoid extra work (if possible)
In looking through the archives, there was mention of a "stand alone" JSP which was not under a Portlet or the Portal. The PDF was displayed in the stand alone JSP where the mime type was altered to PDF. Would this be an option?

How to I make spacing changes in a PDF document?

I coverted my resume from a word doc to a PDF (on a Mac) and my spacing changed, how do I alter a PDF document?

You cannot do that with Reader. In fact, even with Acrobat which can edit pdf files it is not a good idea. Think of PDFs as electronic version of a stone tablet. You can modify a letter here or there but changing spacing not such a good idea.

I would like to cut and paste information from a word file onto a pdf file, as well as draw lines onto the pdf file. How can I accomplish that task? Is there software I can purchase?

Hi jgallu7382,
The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
I hope that answers your questions.
Best,
Sara

Altering Original Document

Hi All,
I created a form in Illustrator, aged it as an AI PDF and used Adobe Acrobat to create a fillable form... Is there a way I can alter the original AI form, i.e.: headers and footers without altering the PDF form fields.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Lorie

Oh you are completely AWESOME and completely saved my day. My new hero!!!
Thank you so very very much for getting back to me so quickly, I really
appreciate.

Adobe outputting corrupted PDF's

Hi,
Recently when I do a save as in Illustrator or Photoshop, or even if I alter existing PDF's in Acrobat, I get a drawing error or a damaged file message when attempting to view them from a website. Actually one of the servers one of my customer has a site on, won't even display the files stating there is a problem with the file. Any idea what could be going on? This is really frustrating because I'm not saving the files any differently, it's just now unless I view them on my computer, they won't open. This is happening on three of my Adobe Products!
I am creating the PDF's in Adobe so it is not an issue that another program clashing with Adobe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly

Yes I can. But once uploaded to the web I can't. If I create a PDF through Microsoft Office and then upload that to the web, I can read it.
It is whatever I output through Adobe.
It is really ticking me off! I am wasting so much time and the customer is getting really angry that their PDF's can't be viewed by customers. Obviously now that I figured out if I do it through Office it will work, I will do that, but it's a hassle.
Thanks for the response,
Kelly
* Scratch that...Office PDF's won't work either! It only works on single page PDF's. If it combines mare than one, it won't work.

Query on auto-refreshing frames / linked .pdf docs on link

All,
I'm in the process of building a website on an intranet which, heavily uses content from a .pdf document. I'm using a frame-structured website (two Vertial frames), with the left-hand side frame used as a nav bar and the pdf content displayed on the right. I've been able to link the links on the left to bring up and display the .pdf doc on the right-hand frame, however after the first link has been clicked the clicking of further frames does not either seem to refresh the doc or change the position to the relevant .pdf bookmark.
My questions are therefore as follows. Does anyone know how to:-
A) Add a html command onto each link which will force the pdf document to reload?
B) Force a refresh of the right-hand side content frame every time a link has been clicked on the left?
C) Alter the .PDF document so that it will allow the moment to the correct bookmark/destination when called by a link selection in the left-hand nav frame?
D) Save the .PDF into an alternate working format which may bypass any potential problems with moving to a requested bookmark in an already-open doc?
E) Force the opening of the .PDF in the browser, rather than in an opened adobe .PDF viewer?
Sorry guys I'm not the most technical person in the world, but would certainly appreciate any help anyone can offer!
Al

You should keep it simple and best practice. Keep lag enabled even if you are only going to use one port on the wlc. When you disable lag, then that is when the configuration becomes tricky and that's why it's not supported.

Text to speech monotone and slow when reading PDF

When I use text-to-speech on a website, the speech is fluent and the tone is dynamic. However, when I use text-to-speech on PDFs (in Preview), the speech is slow and monotone. It is as if the speech algorithm treats sentences like a LIST of words (treating each word as an isolated individual) rather than treating a sentence like meaningful STRING of consecutive words. Most interestingly, my Mac was speaking my PDFs correctly until yesterday afternoon. I did not update or change anything on my computer as far as I know.
Any help would be appreciated since speaking PDF text is crucial to my work.
Macbook Air (Mid-2013)
OSX 10.10
Preview Version 8.0 (859)

Turns out this was happening with only a select few PDFs. I opened these PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro XI so that I could remove hidden information from these PDFs. I had to remove hidden text, overlapping objects, and links/actions/javascripts to get the PDF to read correctly in Preview.
I am worried, however, that this will happen again after I continue annotating the PDFs in Preview. After all, before using Acrobat to remove this hidden information, I was only using Preview to read and annotate these PDFs. So if the PDFs were altered in a way that prohibited speech-to-text from working on them, then Preview is the app that altered the PDFs. This would indicate some type of problem with either Preview or Speech-to-text, no?
