Edit EVERYTHING in a pdf

I've already made my document into a READABLE PDF & i know how to do about using TOOLS and EDIT TEXT. HOWEVER there are logos and small dots on my page that wont come up as readable and i'm unable to edit them. What do i need to do in order to be able to edit EVERYTHING?

You can only edit them in an original application. Acrobat is not an edit tool as you seem to think. If you have photoshop or illustrator, you can select bitmaps or vector graphics and select edit of those. You may have to set the preferences to those tools first.
It may be that your logos or such either have some strange transparency aspect or if they are large images you may have view large images turned off. If you can post the PDF at some site (like acrobat.com), then we might be able to look at it to get a better idea of the problems you are having.
Also, what version of Acrobat and how did you create the PDF (the steps)?

  • How do I edit a document in PDF form?

    How do I edit a document in PDF form. I have a resume I need to edit and I've tried everything.

    1. Export your PDF file to Word using Export PDF tool in PDF Pack service then edit the file in MS Office.
    2. Open in Acrobat XI Pro then you can do minor text editing using Tools > Content Editing > Edit Text & Images tool.  You can download Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial version from www.adobe.com.

  • Editing text in all PDF files

    Hello,
    I am very new to Acrobat and am trying to change some text in some of my documents, but can't seem to be able to do so. I am using Acrobat X Pro and i use the "Edit Document Text" tool, but the cursor does not change to the text editing cursor. I tried opening other PDF documents and it seems that I am able to edit text in some PDF files, but not the text in others. For the one that I am trying to edit, I did the "Recognize Text" function. I can high-light the text and even search the document for certain words, but can't seem to change any of the text. I can select the text to cross out or put a comment in them, but still can't remove some words/letters & retype.
    This is really frustrating, as these documents are the only reason I wanted Acrobat X - so I can edit a few words on them.
    Please help!

    Nono, I've been trying to say that I CAN high-light it. I can high-light any text in there, select it for commentating, do the strike-out notes on it. I can even do ctrl+F and search for a word that's within the document and it will find that word. There is no "original" PDF because that IS the original.
    I can do everything else to the text except actually edit it (basically deleting or changing the words).
    This is frustrating because other files that people send me that are generated via an automated system are editable, but my own PDF files are not, and I want to know what that difference is and how I can change it so that I can edit my own PDF files.

  • I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

    I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
    When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
    If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
    I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
    Thanks

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.

  • I need to use the PDF editor so I can sign or edit documents already on pdf format. Please advise?

    I need to use the PDF editor so I can sign or edit documents already on pdf format. Please advise?

    As per my understanding , To disable the field RV45A-KWMENG based on the condition for Transaction VA01/VA02.
    The conditions which i need to check is Order Type and item category.
    I understand that this is the code which i need to insert for disabling the field but i have a question here, where is the condition here and how the system understand for this field RV45A-KWMENG it has to disable. I think we need give the condition as if RV45A-KWMENG....... Another one if iam not wrong we need check that it has to be done in VA01 and VA02 then only this condition should be executed.
    IF VBAK-AUART EQ 'XXX' OR VBAP-PSTYV EQ TANN .
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'XXX'.
    SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Please suggest me the better way how can i do it in the coding.
    Awaiting for ur prompt reply.

  • Save editable form into regular PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    Hello,
    With Adobe Pro, I've created a PDF form using the following:
    Save As Other...
    Reader Extended PDF
    Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)...
    Once saved, I am sending this form to colleagues for them to fill out.  These colleagues only have access to Acrobat Reader.
    What I'm hoping to do is to have them save the file into a regular PDF document with the info inserted in the form but without the option to change the form info (change from editable form to regular PDF file).
    Thanks for your help.

    Hrm, OK. Well I actually DON'T have my document set as a reader extended PDF. If i fill out my fields then try to use the sign feature, it's not flattening the fields when I save/close reopen. They are still editable.
    Just as a test, I saved it as reader extended and the sign feature is grayed out as you stated it should be. I am using acrobat X to create my fields and using reader XI to test inputting data/saving.
    I need users to be able to fill it out, save then send and the recipient NOT be able to modify the fields. Am I missing something with the sign feature?
    Thanks again for the reply!

  • Can not edit text in a PDF with Adobe acrobat professional version 8

      I have a PDF doccument that I can not edit any of the text on. all it lets me do is slide the pages around like images but dose not allow me to delete or add any text. It is not password protected at all.
    Any ideas on why this is and how to fix it so I can edit this 40 page pdf?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR
    In the Recognize Text dialog, click the "Edit" button.
    In the Recognize Text - Settings dialog the middle entry has a drop-down menu.
    From this menu you can select one of three PDF Output Styles.
    --| Searchable Image
    --| Searchable Image (Exact)
    --| Formatted Text & Graphics
    These output styles are discussed in Acrobat Help.
    Be well...

  • Editing Actual Text in PDF File

    Is there any way or a third party software that will allow me to actually edit text in a PDF???
    Right now, I have a PDF file that was emailed to me for printing and some text in the file needs to be modified. I would just like to edit the actual text instead of waiting for the sender to edit the text in whatever program they used to create the PDF from.
    I presently have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks!
    Mike

    The Adobe Reader for SymbianOS isn't a PDF editor. You'd need Acrobat
    for that, using the Text Touch-up Tool.

  • Editing documents saved as PDF

    Why can't I edit documents saved as PDF?  Last week I was able to save them and then edit them.  Today I can only view them. 

    Hey johnfromnew malden,
    First off, do you have all of your files backed up?
    Have you ever replaced the hard drive?
    Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login window. It may take 5 or more minutes to start up as Safe Mode will try to repair your hard drive if there are issues.

  • Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

    Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

    I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.
