How do I edit a pdf document in adobe acrobat 9 extended?

I tried to edit a seachable pdf file in adobe acrobat 9
extended and it wont work. It just highlights the word but won't
let me delete it and change it. Any ideas? I thought I tired
everything.

Just as you cannot post on this forum without creating an
account, you will need to create an account on the Acrobat forums
in order to post.
The title of these forums clearly indicate they are for
Acrobat.com users and not users of the Acrobat desktop software.
You will also find a post outlining this as the first post in the
General Discussions forum, where I see you have also posted your
same question and gotten the same answers.
Do
you need support for Acrobat 9? or Acrobat.com?
Just as we would not provide answers for other Adobe products
such as InDesign or Illustrator on the Acrobat.com forums, we will
not be providing support for the Acrobat desktop product on these
forums as it is a separate product from Acrobat.com. I understand
that the names are similar so this can certainly cause you some
confusion, but you will need to proceed to the Acrobat forums in
order to ask questions about your Acrobat product. As you have been
told several times by several different support agents, these
forums are not related to the Acrobat desktop product and the
support agents on this forum do not support the Acrobat desktop
product on this forum. You have been directed to a forum where you
can ask for support on the product you are using, please continue
on to that forum. The support you are requesting cannot be
delivered on this forum.

  • How Do I edit a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 7

    Hello,
    Here in the office we are currently using Adobe Acrobat 7. We want to be able to edit within the PDF. Does anyone know how to do this??

    Hi DAVIDPC1,
    Acrobat 7 Pro (at 7.1.0 and, at least, the dot release prior to 7.1.0) has the Typewriter tool.
    Tools > Typewriter > Show Typewriter Toolbar.
    A PDF containing page content that reflects a "form" (lines to add text, boxes to mark, etc.), while a "PDF", is not a "PDF Form".
    This later critter will have form fields that you can complete. Can get rather fancy.
    Old Acrobat Form methods are still possible with Acrobat but, in the last several Acrobat releases "LifeCycle Designer" has been bundled.
    This permits one to create "dynamic" forms (uses a flavor of XML that is "wrapped" in PDF).
    So when anyone talks to the topic of "PDF form(s)" listeners often think the topic is an Acrobat or LifeCycle form rather than PDF page content that reflects an electronic version of a static, paper form.
    With that said, I think you are alluding to a PDF that is page content reflecting a paper form and has no form "fields" to facilitate filling out.
    So, if your version of Acrobat 7 has "Typewriter" then this tool will be found under menu item "Tools".
    It does surprise me that a fedgov form is not "fillable".
    At http://www.forms.gov/bgfPortal/agencyList.do 
    the forms look to be PDFs with form fields or of the "eFile" type as found here

  • 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.

  • While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

    While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

    I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

  • I cannot print pdf documents from Adobe Acrobat

    When I open up a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat, I am unable to print it. If I try and use an HP Laserjet 1606 laser printer Acrobat crashes. When I use either an HP Office Jet 7000 wide format ink jetprinter or a Brother MFC 3360C multi function ink jet printer I either get an error message that says "This document cannot be printed" or Acrobat crashes.
    I can print using the Preview program.
    Any suggestions?

  • How can i edit a PDF document?

    would like to edit a pdf doc. how can i do that?

    It is always best to edit the source document - MS Word, for example - then create a new PDF. If the source document is not available, you can try saving the PDF as a Word document. Sometimes that works reasonably well, other times not so much. It is possible to make small edits using the Content Editing tools in Acrobat, but do not expect too much. Acrobat is not a word processor.

    how to i edit a saved pdf document

    Hi tdsly1,
    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Adobe Acrobat. If you don't have it, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How do I edit a pdf document and save it without having to save it as a new file?

    I recently copied a pdf document to my computer. I need to make changes to it and forward it to someone else for review. I can make the changes, but when I try to save it, I get a message that the document is read only or is already open. As far as I can tell, there are no restrictions on the document and it is not already open.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X on a PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Any help with this frustrating problem would be appreciated.

    Often what you describe occurs because Windows Explorer is open and has focus on the file.
    Put focus elsewhere and, if the Preview mode is "on" turn it "off".

  • How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

    I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents.  When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
    "The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
    The document is not read only and no other user has it open.  If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes.  I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
    Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • How do I highlight a PDF document using Adobe Reader 8?

    I frequently need to highlight text in PDF documents, such as user manuals, just for my own use.  When I looked up "highlighting text" in the Knowledge Base, I found the following statement:  "Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically include commenting rights."   Is this the reason why I have not been able to find the Highlight Text tool option in any of the documents?  Is there a workaround for this issue? 

    Thank you for your suggestion to search in Google.  I found a few truly free, not just free trial offers, PDF editors, which I will need to test to find the one that will work best for my purpose.  Thanks, again.

  • Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

    I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago.  The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version.  I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version).  When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file.  All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below).  After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort.  This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer.  After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel.  Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program.  I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem.  I have no idea where to go from here.  All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot!  Please help!!

    You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...
