How can I edit, i.e. change wording, in a document copied from an emailed pdf

Hi
Actually, I need to alter the wording of a 14 page document sent to me by email as a pdf file. I figured that I should copy the document and paste it into a blank Page template (I remember doing similar in Word & was able to access document immediately) and begin to change wording etc. Sadly, I can do absolutely nothing to the document & the curser remains an arrow and not a texting tool. I've searched around for answers but nothing helps.
Any help gratefully received
Thanks
Alan

Word can open and convert .pdfs which will look different in Word but they are largely uneditable.
Adobe Acrobat Pro can do some in place editting.
Preview .app lets you open .pdfs and Copy, Paste text from them.

How can I edit a word doc received in my icloud mailbox on my ipad?

how can I edit a word doc received in my icloud mailbox on my ipad?

You need a compatible app in which to save it such as Pages or Documents to Go.
Find an app that is compatible with Word that you want to purchase and then after you download that app - go to that email and you can select the "open In" option. Tap and hold down on the open document in the email and select "open In' and select the app that you purchased.

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window?

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window? I can figure out just about everything else I can do in the window, but can't seem to edit a bookmark.
thank you

In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
* You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
* You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
* You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

How can I edit texts in ipad letter by letter.

I frequently write in Spanish and English, i have to change the keyboard from one language to the other but when i forget i get unexpected results. I decided to disable the automatic spelling correction. But there is still a problem. I sometimes miss a single letter to correct in a word but ipad forces me to rewrite the whole word again, or to use the delete key to delete all the letters until i get to the one I need to correct. How can I edit letters from inside a word without the need to rewrite the whole word. Does ipad support this?
Thanks for your comments.

Yes. You can tap near the letter you want to edit to place the cursor near by.
For more accurate selection if you hold down where you want to edit a small magnifiying glass should appear. You can use that to move the insertion pointer to wherever you want to edit.
Page 24 of the User Guide describes this feature.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6?

How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6? The company hired somebody to set up the droplet years ago, and nobody remembers how it was set up. The computer that was used to save the files has crashed, and I need to change the path the droplet uses for saving the files. I tried to open the droplet with Image Ready, but it said it was not an image ready droplet and could not be opened. The computer running Photoshop is using Windows XP.

It seems that the script on the ps scripts page is to old to work in cs5.
This is a lnk to xtools 1.8 which has the latest version of the droplet decompiler:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/xtools/
Just unzip, find the Apps folder and look for the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
Then put your droplet on the desktop, Use File>Scripts>Browse in cs5 to navigate to the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
Here's an example using the Aged Photo.exe droplet from the ps 6 samples folder:
here's the resulting action opened in cs5:

How can you edit a song in iTunes so that you can separate the part I want?

Some songs have LONG intros I'd like to edit out. For example, Elton John's Funeral for a friend/Love Lies Bleeding is only available as one track.
How can I edit out the FFAF part? (at least for the version I sync to my ipod.

Hey there,
One option is to change the songs starting time in iTunes. To change when a song starts and ends locate and highlight the song in iTunes. From there, right->click the song and choose "Get Info" from the Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab and in the middle of the window there are options to adjust the starting and ending times for that song or songs. When you are satisfied, go ahead and hit OK to apply the changes.
From there, sync the updates to your iPod.
Hope this helped.

How can I edit the password entries?

How can I edit the values in password manager? Right now for at least one site has the username instead of the password.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox with a possible feed.snapdo.com infection.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How can i edit / customize the font in the navigation bar in iweb?r

how can I edit / customize font size and color in the navigation bar on an iweb created page?

This tutorial may help: #24 - How to Change the Basic, Rollover and Visited Color of an iWeb Navbar. It only applies to the various colors.
Wyodor has posted code to be put in an HTML snippet that will increase the font size.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Increase the size by increments of .1 until you get the size you want. You'll need to publish the site before you'll see the change.
If you only have a couple of pages in your site you can create your own text based navbar. That will give you complete control over font, size, color, spacing, etc. However, be sure to use only Web Safe Fonts or the navbar will not look like you want it on those computers that do not have the font you used installed. This demo page is an example: Text Based Navbar. With more than a couplke of pages updating such a navbar can become a real pain. However, it is much more search engine friendly.

Hi,
In our case, even though i change the name of the workbook using 'Change title' that is not reflected in the workbook if it is in a role. so, in that case, goto pfcg - enter the name of the role -> menu tab -> change the workbook name for the workbook of your choice.

Word processor like "editing" is not tolerated by PDF (the file format/technology discussed and described by the ISO Standard for PDF, ISO 32000-1). Minor touchups are tolerated. The textual characters have to be renderable text (a scanner's output image of text is a picture of text not "real" text).
Open the PDF with Acrobat XI.
Click-path:

Be well...
