How do i edit a pdf file with acrobat 9 standard

i have a doc that was sent to me thru email, i saved it as a pdf file now i want to edit it and it seems impossible. Please help!
Thank you

First choice is to edit the source file with its 'host' application.
Acrobat provides the TouchUp Text tool for *minor* touchups.
But, regardless of this PDF is not an editing / layout / formatting format.
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 file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
Thanks in advance,

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.

Editing a PDF file with Acrobat XI pro... some "text" is not selectable and vanishes upon saving

Hi folks.
I've googled around for a few hours, but I'm completely stumped with this one.
I'm trying to edit a .pdf file that was generated from Word 2007. Mostly it edits fine, but for reason some of what appears to be text isn't selectable with the text and image editor... in fact it doesn't even have a bounding box around it. When I move around the document or save it in acrobat pro, the "text" then vanishes.
I include a dropbox link to a partial screenshot image which shows what I'm talking about. You can see that the italic bold A doesn't have a box around it in some cases.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/42i8xms78lvw12b/Screenshot%202014-02-07%2011.19.07.png
Can anybody kindly shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Bill. Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file. The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
I'm using AA XI 11.0.06. Upgraded this morning. That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear. Or don't in this case
I only need to change a few characters in the file. However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine? I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
Thanks!

Font Error Message While Editing a PDF File with Acrobat XI Pro

Hello,
I have Acrobat XI Pro running on Windows 8.1
I scanned a PDF File and then went to "Tools - Text Recognition - In This File - Edit - OutPutStyle ClearScan etc etc" and got the file into "Edit Mode".
When I replace a "number/digit", the replacement digit font is "very small" and there is a "Yellow Triangle" error message which says the following.
"The Original Font Fd 3168 is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font "Minion Pro" font in its place.
Anybody know how to overcome this error message/problem OR alternatively how do I change the FONT of the whole page to some other Font?
Also how do I find a "similar or equivalent font" for Fd 3168 font that Adobe Acrobat says, is not available.
TIA

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 convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

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).

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?

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process, compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
another one I have.
When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
default from Acrobat or any other software ?
Thank you for your next message.

Optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro

I have always been able to optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro until now. It gives me the following error. Runtime error, This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information. I just need to make it smaller as there is a cap on the senders end that I am sending it to. I have also tried the reduce pdf and get the same reply. [email protected]

PDF's with forms can only be optimized with a SAVE AS and the option set to "Save File For Fast Webviewing".
Be sure that option is set and just do a save as and then rename the file back to your original.

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.
