Create and edit a PDF file

Hi,
Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
Thanks for any info.

Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

  • How to create and edit a .ini file using java

    Hi All...
    Pls help me in creating and editing an .ini file using java...
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    sathya

    Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.Properties;
    public class Test {
         private static Properties props;
         public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
              File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
              props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
              read(file);//Read the ini file
              //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
              props.setProperty("testing", "value");
              write(file);//Write to ini file
         public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
              FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
              props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
              fis.close();//close
         public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
              props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
              fos.close();//close
    }

    how do i add text and edit my pdf file

    Hi pilothorse,
    To edit a PDF file you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Create and save a .pdf file

    Afternoon!  I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great.  It opens and displays well.  My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it?  My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

    <cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
    it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
    so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

  • Read and Edit a PDF File

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to know if it is possible to read and edit the same pdf file using Java. ie my PDF file named "Sample.pdf" has contents like
    First Name = &F_NAME
    Last Name =&L_NAME
    what I want is to parse the Sample.pdf file and look for &F_NAME and replace it with "Jacob" and &L_NAME and replace it with "Abraham" so that the contents within that pdf file look like
    First Name = Jacob
    Last Name =Abraham
    Please let me know if it is possible to do like this. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • What's the best way to create and edit a PDF where the source document is also a PDF?

    Hi,
    To be specific, we are in the process of upgrading our A/P processes and we have received a user manual from the company we contracted for the upgrade. I've been tasked with customizing this manual for my company's specific processes (this is with the permission).
    What is the best course of action to accomplish this? I thought I should save a copy of the manual, and then modify each page as necessary. I will be adding and deleting text and graphics. I have never used Acrobat before, but consider myself a quick study.
    Any suggestions wil be greatly appreciated.

    When Acrobat saves to Word 97-2003 format, it actually writes a Rich Text Format file - the binary .DOC format used by Word is a closed standard. The .DOCX format is just XML, and neither export process cares if you have Office installed or not. In theory, OpenOffice can read both types of file; but there does tend to be some minor difference between how OO arranges things and how MS Word does it.
    The critical thing is that if the PDF file has structure tags (i.e. it's accessible), Acrobat can flow the content properly in the exported file and can identify things as headers, quotes, lists, tables, etc. If not, it has to guess what the reading order is based on where things are on the page, and it will often get confused by intricate layouts, spanned columns, etc. There are of course some things (such as Word Art) which don't survive the trip to PDF and back, and will show as an image.

    First thing is that this forum is for OTN community feedback and suggestions as the forum header says. Second, you have not provided any background of scenario like platform, tools, business case etc, so its impossible to suggest where to post.
    You can go to forum home page

  • Editing a PDF file with Acrobat XI pro... some "text" is not selectable and vanishes upon saving

    Hi folks.
    I've googled around for a few hours, but I'm completely stumped with this one.
    I'm trying to edit a .pdf file that was generated from Word 2007.  Mostly it edits fine, but for reason some of what appears to be text isn't selectable with the text and image editor... in fact it doesn't even have a bounding box around it.  When I move around the document or save it in acrobat pro, the "text" then vanishes.
    I include a dropbox link to a partial screenshot image which shows what I'm talking about.  You can see that the italic bold A doesn't have a box around it in some cases.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/42i8xms78lvw12b/Screenshot%202014-02-07%2011.19.07.png
    Can anybody kindly shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill.  Thanks for replying. 
    Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file.  The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
    I'm using AA XI 11.0.06.  Upgraded this morning.  That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
    I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear.  Or don't in this case
    I only need to change a few characters in the file.   However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
    Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine?  I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
    Thanks!

    I have purchased a monthly subscription to Adobe PDF pack so that i can edit a PDF file, i have uploaded the file and its now in "my assets". how do i now edit this file??

    You can't edit a file with PDF Pack, but you should be able to convert it to a Word document, and if you are really lucky edit THAT and make a new PDF. Don't expect too much though!

    Hello Anubha,
    I am using the Adobe annual licence for Adobe PDF pack. I wanted to be able to edit a PDF file and when I selected this function it said I needed to update to Adobe Pro – and then it would not allow mw to update. Is there an additional cost? And if so how much is it and how do I go about updating so I can use this functionality.
    Kind regards,
    Lindsay

    I purchased Pro so I can edit my pdf doc and it still won't let me edit it. How do I edit my pdf file?

    You say it won't let you edit it. What do you mean
    * You don't know how
    * The can't find the tools you expect to find for editing
    * You know how to edit, but you can't select text to edit at all
    * The tools are there but greyed out
    * You get an error message (what?)
    * Something else?
