Can I edit my posts after they're posted?

If so, how?

Dave,
Gerald Edgar is quite correct.
The type of "edits", that should be requested are, erroneously posted personal info, serial numbers, email addresses, sensitive data, etc.
The Report this post tab, is not to be used for typos, misspelling, etc.
The Hosts are far too busy, to act as "Personal Secretaries".

There is any way to let one page of the final pdf exported file editable?

Hi there
You haven't seen any replies because you posted this to the Captivate forums. Hang tight and I'll move it over to the InDesign forums where it may gain some traction.
Best of luck in finding a solution! Rick

How can I edit a post that I made?

How can I edit a post that I made?

Hi Matt. There is only a very short window of time to edit a post (15 minutes). However, I have spotted your other post and requested a moderator to edit out your contact info.

How can I edit a post I've already posted?

I saw a button that said "Edit this post." I clicked it and got a notice that I must log in before editing my post. I was already logged in. Completed the longin info again, but still kept getting the message that I had to log in first. Closed Safari, reopened, re-logged in, went to the post, and then the button for editing the post was gone.
I see some discussion in this forum, but have not found a post telling exactly how to make the edit function work. Nor do I get results searching on "edit" or "edit post" or "edit forum post."
Nor do I find any mention of this in the Help section.
I did see one place where a person was asking a host to edit one of his posts. This could imply we can't edit our own posts; but then what is the edit button on a posted post for? In any case, it seems there should be some info about this somewhere, and perhaps the dialog box could be more explanitory (as in saying we must log in, when we already are).
Thank you.
I WAS able to edit THIS message. This time the Edit button worked. Maybe the other time was a fluke, or maybe there is a time limit on hitting the Edit button. But again, why was that guy asking a host to do his editing. Any clarification would be helpful. Alas, I now see only two choices: a button to Discard and Cancel, and a button to Edit Message. I'll go with the latter and see if it means "Post."

Hi ChicagoLarry!
If the 15 minute, Edit time span has elapsed, but you still have the post that you want to edit, open in a browser window, the  Edit icon, will still be evident.
But as you have discovered, if you click on it, you will be asked to login, which doesn't really make any sense.
Ideally, the message would be more like "You're allotted time to edit this post has expired."
I've made a suggestion to the Hosts.
Also, each time you edit an entry, the edit time is extended.
For example, if you edit a post 10 minutes after the initial time of posting, you will then have another 15 minutes, in which to edit again.
Each subsequent edit, adds another 15 minutes.
The discretionary editing of posts, by the Hosts, is usually done only for violations of the TOU, posted personal info, serial numbers, Email addresses, posting of commercial Websites, etc., not for misspellings, punctuation, or other minor posting errors.

Can not edit my posts

Hi, can someone here confirm that editing posts has been disabled I'm trying to edit a previous message of mine but the option for editing is missing. The forum software says I am logged with my correct ID and password.
<edit>
Actually it appears the system doesn't allow message editing if someone has replied after it. I don't recall this being the case for this forum unless it's been changed??

Hi guys
I can edit all my postings but after someone has replied to my question Im not able to edit the posting.
I think its a usual forum function. But sometimes Im also not able to edit my posting. Dont know why. Possibly it has something to do with the cookies or the ID time out.

Can't Edit a form after converting it to reader extended

I am struggling with an issue when creating a form. I create the form in Word, convert and edit in Acrobat Pro, then save a version as "reader extended" so that our users can fill it out. However, there were some errors in the form after I saved it as "reader extended". I tried to save a copy but it says I can't "edit form"...What do I do?
here are some screen shots:

so i have a pdf file I'm working on as "test.pdf" I save a version as "test_fill_in.pdf" with reader extended and then distributed.
I was advised some of the form functions and fields were not correct so I needed to edit the test_fill_in.pdf.
To edit I did the following:
Opened the "test_fill_in.pdf" in acrobat
Save a copy as "test_fill_in_1.pdf"
Received "You cannot edit this file as a form" message
what am i doing wrong?
I've had to recreate this form from scratch sooo many times!!

Can't edit folder info after importing & editing using iTunes... Help.

I've notice that when editing CD info after importing into iTunes that sometimes folder names in my music library, under itunes media/music, does not match the info that I've just edited in iTunes. When attempting to edit the folder's name I have to add the folder into iTunes again, to locate music files after edit change (?), only to have the edited folder name switch back to the previous name. Is there something that needs to be disabled. I've looked all over but can't seem to find help for this particular situation.

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
iTunes can't or won't use certain characters in file & folder names and uses a maximum of 40 characters for the file or folder name, inclusive of any extention such as ".mp3" (=4 chars). If you manually rename anything iTunes will lose track of it. The best advice is simply to leave iTunes to it. Once you've thrown the data into it, iTunes will get it back for you when you ask, so why does it matter how iTunes chooses to organize it? Saldy, I can't follow my own advice and choose to keep my library organized manually. These days I use some custom scripts to move things around and update iTunes in one process, but in the past I would tidy up my tags, amend the file & folder names, then remove the album from iTunes & reimport.

Can I edit visitors' comments before they're posted at my site?

I am running an iWeb site for a team group we belong to. In lieu of creating a guestbook (I have no experience editing HTML, but am very comfortable with iWeb) I figure the next best thing, easiest, anyway, is putting up a blog and letting others add their own comments.
Please correct if this is a wrong assumption - as I would love to have a guestbook at our site, but nothing that would have me going into templates and inserting code - I don't trust my HTML abilities.
Any suggestions most appreciated from me and our group!
Rachel.

Have a look at this thread, especially varkgirl's post.

Can I edit picture titles after uploading to iWeb

I uploaded 71 photo's to iWeb, but didn't name them, so they only show the img tag number.
I want to edit the name and maybe add comments. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Boris

Okay, I just figured it out, you can make the changes in iPhoto, and then iPhoto automatically updates the web gallery.
Thanks again,
Boris

How can I edit a post?

Can anyone help me?

Could? Yes.
Would? Not necessarily.
The vast majority of posts edited by the moderators violate the Terms of Use in one way or another, or maybe the poster gave out personal information, etc.

Can I edit connection files after conversion?

SharePoint 2013 SP1, InfoPath 2013.
I created a data connection to a SQL database and then convert it to a connection file, saving it in a data connection library. It worked great.
Now I need to edit that connection to include a new field but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do a simple edit. Is there an easy way to do this that I am missing?
I have tried:
Modifying the data connection but there is no option to check additional fields once converted to .udcx.
Creating a new connection and naming it the same as the old, but this is denied.
Creating a new connection with a new name and overwriting the .udcx file, but I still need to re-link in InfoPath to the new connection.
Deleting the old connection and creating a new one with the same name. It still needs to re-link.
Modifying the .udcx file directly, but this does not update in InfoPath so I still can't select the data.

I realized that I was able to refresh the data connection in InfoPath by clicking on Modify > Next > Next > Finish after manually editing the .udcx file.

Can not edit Word docs after converting from a ExportPDF file. The PDF file is converted into a non-editable Word Doc image.

Converting a PDF file (scanned copy Adobe Reader X) to a Word Doc using ExportPDF conversion. The Word Doc created is a image file which is not editable. I need an editable Word Doc file.

Hi robertw,
Can you please tell me more about how the PDF was created? (If you don't know, choose File > Properties, and look for the PDF Producer on the Description tab.)
If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF creator, it may be that it's not well-written, and that can affect the quality of the conversion. See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.
That said, you may be able to select the text by triple-clicking in the Word document.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Can I edit a form after it has been submitted?

For example:
I have a Purchase Request form that is filled out by the person requesting the purchase and after submission, our financial advisor has to fill in additional data in the same form.

The form is created in Acrobat X Pro. I uploaded it to FormsCentral and distributed it that way.
When you click "submit" it goes back to FormsCentral.
What I'm hoping to accomplish is that someone can fill out the form with the appropriate information, submit it, and then after approval a second individual can go in and add additional information to the form.

Can't edit text field after grouping

Hi Folks,
I have 3 single-line text fields and a logo combined by using "Add Parent". For some wierd reason, I cannot select any of the fields to make a text change. I can select them in the Elements Panel, and make layout or style changes, but as soon as I double-click to edit the text, my selection switches to the parent div instead of the text field. I tried using the text tool as well, but it always switches selection to the parent. This isn't a big deal since I can edit the text later in an editor, but it is a bit frustrating.
FWIW, I ran this morning's upgrade before starting, but I doubt that caused this problem(?) Thanks for any help
--Kevin

So sorry Chris, in my frustration, I removed the parent and group so I could get at the element I wanted to edit, then re-created the parent.
However, your description of the differences between Group and Add Parent in this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1361983?tstart=0 probably explains why I was having trouble. I beleive I had GROUPED the 3 text fields, and then wrapped both that group and the logo image in another div by "Add Parent". I probably was not clicking successfully through the Parent to the Group and then to the Text Field. Basically, I was clicking like mad, but probably not on the correct spot for each level.
Thanks for clarifying how these items work.
