Edit a existing pdf file

Is it possible?? "I have an existing PDF file and I want to change every occurence of the word 'competitor' with the word 'myself' "

Your qustion is very nice.Sometime we need to edit
file whether it is non editable like your resume,it
Do you mean "resumes submitted to the company". Why
are you editing resumes submitted to you?Recruiters sometimes change resumes before submitting them to a company. [Those recruiters should be shot, especially if they do it without your prior approval.  You should know exactly what they are sending to the company.  If the recruiter has an issue or suggestion for your resume, the recruiter should tell you and have [b]you change it. They should not make changes that you haven't agreed to.]
will be good if you make your resume in pdf format
sothat nobody can write , but it will not static file
you have to edit someday sometime for someone.Or do you mean the resume sitting in My Documents
which will be converted from a Microsoft Word
document to what ever the company I'm applying to
wants then emailed off.If you can edit a PDF, so can the recruiter. Still PDF is harder for the recruiter to change than a Word document is. So, keep the Word document (or other editable source), change that as needed, and create a new PDF.
I assume the OP doesn't have any editable source for this document--that he just has the PDF. He could always retype the whole thing if he can't use copy-and-paste or OCR or something to get editable text from the file.

  • How can I edit an existing pdf file? I just need to replace some text

    my boss wants me to amend a pdf document and I've been doing it wrong. The programs I have are illustrator, in design and photoshop hope you can help.
    thank you in advance.

    I have amended a pdf before sometime ago but totally forgotten what I did.
    But I do know it can be done
    The fact that you edited one PDF doesn't mean you can edit another. There are many possible PDF "recipes" which may or may not result in direct edit-ability.
    In your original post, you state you've "been doing it wrong."
    In post #2, you state "it didn't work."
    In post #4 you state "it doesn't allow me..."
    It would be a lot easier to advise you if we had more detail in terms of how you're going about your attempts to edit, and what actually happens when you try. For example:
         "I use the Type Tool and click/drag to select text, but it makes a new text box instead."
         "I can't select individual objects. It looks like everything is grouped in one big frame"
         "When I click on text, it gets elected like objects, with anchor points all around."

  • Edit existing pdf file

    Hi all ,
    I'm working a on  C# console application , that is used for editing existing pdf files , by shifting pdf document paragraphs down , adding text style..etc
    1. Is there a way that i can do that with acrobat sdk ?? Regarding that i'm editing an existing pdf file i.e the new result will overwrite the old one..
    2. Is there some kind of dll  , that i can use in my application to launch to Acrobat Pro XI so that i can use it's functions in my project ??
    Thank you

    Not everything you can do in Acrobat can easily be automated. There are
    different APIs in the Acrobat SDK, and the IAC interface has some serious
    limitations. Some of which you can get around by using the JavaScript
    bridge, but still, you wont have access to the page content. Only a plug-in
    can access that data, and still, moving "paragraphs" around is a huge
    tasks. The PDF file does not organize it's content in terms of words,
    sentences or paragraphs, so you would have to provide functionality that
    would be able to identify what you consider to be a paragraph. That is not
    a trivial task. You may be able to export your PDF content as a Word
    document, then do all that "magic" in Word, and then convert the document
    back to PDF (or go straight to the original document and do all the work in
    that).

    I have a PC desktop and an iPad.  I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad.  I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device.  I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud).  Is that possible.  I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

  • Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

    Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago.  Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe.  Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe.  Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

    You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

    how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

    With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
    Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

  • Unable to open existing PDF files after downloading Adobe reader

    I have an Advent 7085 PC with Windows XP Home version 2002 service pack 2. After downloading the latest Adobe Reader 8 I cannot open any of my existing PDF files, nor can I open any new ones. I have several times downloaded it, tried it and found it doesn't work so have then deleted it from the system and rebooted. Downloaded again only for the same thing to happen again. Error message says that Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then I am advised to let microsoft know of this problem.
    Please!!! Is there anybody out there who knows what the problem might be and help me resolve it?
    Thanks

    I finally called tech support and this is what we did and it worked for me...First go to start/control panel/add&remove programs. Once the program list is configured, hilite Adobe reader and select remove. Once the program is removed, from the control panel select user accounts. Set up a new user account "test". Through user "test" go into www.adobe.com and select icon to download adobe reader. You do not need to run media player, remove check unless you want to download it. After program is downloaded and copied you can close out of adobe. At that point I was able to open my PDF files without any error message. Tech advised me to keep the "test" user set up, doesn't hurt anything to have it there. He told me that there probably was some settings under my user account that was causing a glitch in the download and that is why we opted to download through a new user account. BTW the tech support was free if you still can't get it to work. Good Luck

  • Can't Edit .txt and .pdf files in EP6 KM

    We just migrated our last application from EP5 to EP6, and now we're having problems with not being able to edit .txt and .pdf files.  The problem is that the files will only open in the browser rather than in their native programs (wordpad/notepad, Adobe Editor, etc).  Surely others have encountered this issue.  Are there any solutions short of installing 3rd party tools?

    Hi Jeff,
    Which program opens on a link depends on two things:
    1. The MIME-Type that is sent from the server together with the resource (file) you requested by clicking a link
    2. Your Windows Setting defining which local application should be used for which MIME Type.
    So there may be two things happening:
    1. EP 6 is sending other (or no) MIME Types with the KM resources. You can check this in your KM configuration. See KM -> Services -> MIME Service
    2. Your OS got the settings for apps/MIMEs changed. This happens e.g. if you changed on Win XP to SP 2.
    So here may be a solution:
    Go to Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder
    Options->File Types, click on the TXT extention, and click
    "Delete".  Then proceed to recreate the TXT file type with the
    default app you want (notepad). 
    IE will open your app (notepad) for links to text files from that point
    on.
    So, to check this for text files, open the registry editor, go to
    "My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt" (or .TXT), and check for a 'String
    Value' with the value "text/plain".
    This should work with any file type, as long as you use the right MIME Type (See KM configuration / MIME Services).
    HTH,
    Carsten

    how to edit text from pdf file?

    Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

  • How can i add or create Layers into existing PDF File

    How can i create or add new Layers into new or existing PDF file using DLE JAVA API (Datalogics API)

    sandyrock,
    The PDFL, as Adobe distributes it, only has a C/C++ interface.
    The JNI APIs are developed and supported by Datalogics, the company you licensed your copy of the PDFL from. Have you contacted them? Support for their API extensions to the PDFL should be included with your licensing fee and they have many tips and ready-made examples specific to their API extensions they could give you.
