How do i edit a dwg file in Illustrator CS5?

I can't find an import menu and i can't edit the file directly.
Thank you very much!

Hi Wade,
I tried that but i get an error "The file "xxx" is in a format which cannot be placed.". I'm guessing that the creator may not have saved it correctly???
Thanks,
Steve

How do I edit an eps file in Illustrator?

I bought some vector eps files and would like to edit the text in them. How would I go about doing so? Are there any tutorials that you could direct me to? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately they don't mention text.
Did you get a warning about missing fonts when opening the file? That would be an indicator that there might be editable text.
When you go into outline mode, is the text shown in solid black or as an outline? If the latter, you can't edit it.
There are a couple of threads on the subject in this forum. So searching for "stock graphic" and editing, text etc. might take you there.
Actually you need to take a deep dive into how vector graphics work, so you also might consider reading some chapters of the manual.

It won't be a simple task. The people who sold you this graphic, give the impression that this can just be done, but that's only the case if you know how it works. You might also confront them with what's not possible and ask them where to go from here.

How do i edit an eps file?

How do i edit an eps file in illustrator? I've downloaded the file from shutterstock but don't know how to edit the text etc.

You need to first check if it is editable text.
Go in outline mode (View > Outline). Then check if the text in filled black or just outlined. In case it's outlined, you can't edit it.

How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!
John

it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

How do I edit a PDF file with Adobe PDF Pack?

Well, you don't. Editing a PDF is a difficult and fraught business even with the most expensive software.
But PDF Pack lets you export to Word; then often you can edit in Word. Now you can make a new PDF. It might look like the original, or it might not. If small changes matter you might be out of luck. ON NO ACCOUNT USE THIS FOR GOVERNMENT FORMS.

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

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 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.
Best,
Sara

How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?

Hi All,
How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?
Any ideas, solution, suggestions.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hello Roach,
First, thanks for your quick response.
I am using a Solaris 10 (Sparc ) machine , I want to make sure that no set uid programs get executed in /tmp partition.
Currently I am modifying the value in /etc/vfstab to and adding the value in Mount Options as nosetuid, and restarting the system as a result when the system is rebooted the /etc/mnttab entry is populated accordingly and setuid programs are not executed in /tmp partition.
But I want to avoid the reboot.
I am planning to update the /etc/vfstab as well as /etc/mnttab file directly so that the reboot can be avoided.
I found some function related to /etc/mnttab i.e
(i)getmntent
(ii)resetmnttab
I will go into more details about it now
Regards,
Rahul.

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?
