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

Be well...

    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 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 to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

    I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
    HELP!

    Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

    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 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

    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?

    HOW DI I DELETE A PDF FILE IN ADOBE??????

    Hi UNIIQUE,
    You can simply right click the pdf file and 'Delete' it.
    If you are trying to delete pages within the pdf file then you have to use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.

    If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

    Very strange!  What is your installed Reader version?
    Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
