How can I edit a pdf file that was imported?

I want to edit a pdf/jpeg file that I imported/placed in AI?  Can that be done?

Steven,
Illy just sees a bunch of pixels as do the rest of us.
You may use Image/Live Trace with suitable settings, expand, and let her work with the resulting vector artwork.
Or you may draw a (set of path(s) round the part(s) you want to keep (turning htem into a compound path in case of multiple paths, then select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make. That will only hide the outlying parts (unless you do the destructive deed), and you only have limited ways of (further) editing.
Or you may work in Photoshop or similar.

    How do i edit a PDF file that was sent to me in an email?

    Depends on the extent of the edits. You will need Acrobat in any case. If the edits or minor, you can use the text edit tool. For major edits, you need to request the original file be sent or see if you can Save As a DOC or related file type. PDFs are not really structured for editing and you are asking for a lot of grief if you want to do much. Exporting is the best way, or even better simply asking the author for the original (non-PDF type).

  • How do I edit a PDF file that was created with Acrobat 6

    I was given a PDF catalog file from one of my manufactures to use on my web  site, I was told that I need to edit the file and take out the last page which  is for my eyes only not the public, but the way they instructed me to do so has  not worked, so does anybody have an idea on how to do this?
    Also they have tried to  send me a corrected file with the last page removed but the file size is to big  to be sent through email. Any help would be great. Thank You

    Ok thank you I will try this but how will I know if there is a security set and also my mistake what I downloaded was Acrobat X Pro which is $200 from Adobe's web site. I am not very familiar with Acrobat but I will give it a try thank you again. Gary
    To see if there is security, open the document, go to File>Properties>Security. It will tell you what is allowed and what is not allowed.
    Keep in mind that Acrobat Pro is not $200 unless you have a qualifying older version to upgrade from. If not, it's more like $449.

  • How can I edit my PDF file on cloud?

    I cannot figure out how can I edit my PDF file on Acrobat Pro cloud version.

    Hi abulr60330783,
    I've checked your account, and couldn't see what version of Acrobat that you have. You may be referring to the Acrobat DC which Adobe announced this week, but that isn't available just yet.
    So, for the time being, you'll need to use Acrobat Pro XI or earlier to edit PDF files. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word

    How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word?
    I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,
    as the pdf is larger than 100MB,
    I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
    in the meantilme,
    do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,
    many thanks

    If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

  • I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get the error message that adobe could not

    I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download.  I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    Ps: which jdev version do you use?

    Which version of Acrobat do you have? If Reader, then you can't edit a PDF at all, and you can only copy it if it was enabled by the creator of the document.

  • How can I open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta and downloaded from the web?

    I have Keynote version 5.3
    I want to edit a Keynote presentation made originally in Keynote Beta on the web.
    When I download it in .key it wont let me edit the file because it says I need a newer version of Keynote.
    When I try to download Keynote 6.0.1 I'm told I can't because I need a newer operating system!! I currently have 10.7.5 and there are no new updates.
    Can I NOT open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta??!

  • How can I edit an InDesign file that contains right-to-left text (arabic, hebrew...) with InDesign CC?

    With previous CS versions, there was a special ME (middle east) version of InDesign that had all the necessary right-to-left functions. Is there a CC ME version, or is there another solution?

    So this comes at no extra cost to the CC subscription?
    Yes
    And can it open older files that were created with Indesign CS5 ME for example?
    Yes
    Add to that you can also download and install indesign cs6 version
    Download InDesign CS6 from CC

  • How Can I View an AppleScript File that was Saved as "Run Only"?

    Hello. I would like to view the AppleScript of a file I downloaded. But when I show the package contents, find the script, and try to open it, I get a message saying that the file "main.scpt" could not be opened because it was saved as run-only. How can I view this file?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.
