How to edit a pdf file?

I downloaded the free Adobe and i want to edit a pdf file and it wont allow me. asking me to subscribe.

You want to go to the source program you first edited and authored the file in and create a fresh new PDF from that file. You should always save a current copy of the program file which you authored the PDF file in. Acrobat is not really intended for creating content as such. You can do quick edits in Acrobat by setting up the Touch-up preferences, Preferences>General>Touch up, These should point to the programs you use to edit PDF content, in my case the Object editor is Illustrator and Image editor is Photoshop. Now if you select the touch up object tool and the click on the object(s) you want to edit selecting them, then right click to get the contextual menu and select, Edit Object, Acrobat will create a temp file and open it in the program which you selected in preferences. Do the edit and close the temp file, Acrobat uses the temp file to update the open Acrobat PDF file you were working on.
Hope this helps

  • How To Edit a .pdf file - Please Help!

    When I Googled the above question, I was told to download the Adobe Acrobat XI.
    I tried downloading the trial version. I was then told to download the Creative Cloud to  be able to download Acrobat XI.
    I downloaded Creative Cloud, then I was taken to the Adobe Applications Manager Page which show a bunch of apps to download.
    I don't  know which app I will need for the editing.  I was looking for Acrobat XI, but it's not showing anywhere.
    I tried downloading Photoshop. This took more than 2 hours. After the download was complete, I tried launching it, but nothing happened.
    I went back & double-checked the instructions, & I'm directed & got stumped at the Applications Manager page once more.
    I find this very frustrating. I wish it were not this complicated.
    I just want to edit a .pdf file, and nothing else. I'm not sure if I want to go through all these maze, or just use FIVVER, pay $5.00 & AVOID all these hassles.@nikoledeon.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • How to Edit a PDF File in Adobe Reader

    I used to create PDF files from the blog [link removed] But i would like to delete the links in the sidebar and other un wanted content from the PDF file but i cant do it in Adobe Reader. How can i delete it. Is there any option.
    Do i have to install any seperate software to edit pdf files.

    Acrobat can do very limited editing, but it is best to avoid this by not making a PDF of stuff you don't want.
    For example, use an HTML editor first.

  • Video: How to Edit a PDF file.

    Users often need to edit text and images in PDF files, and while Reader can't make these edits, there is a tool in Acrobat XI that makes these edits easy.  This is a video tutorial on Adobe TV on how to use the Content Editing tools pane in Acrobat to edit PDFs.   

    No it does not - and it's a duplicate post.

  • How to edit all PDF files at once

    Hey there,
    I am a student and have to print all the slides from the lectures. However, the slides have this huge blue block on the top that I would like to remove because it needs a lot of ink. After that, I have to make the font black. My problem is that I do not want to do this procedure with every single slide. Is there a way to do it for all at once?
    I used to convert the PDF file into a PPT file and removed the background. However, if you convert a PDF file that contains functions or equations, the PPT-file won't show them in the right way.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    If the Header section remains to be same for all PDFs then you can create an Action to crop it from all PDF.

  • How do you edit a PDF file

    I am trying to edit flyers that are sent to me, and I can't figure out how to edit a PDF file.
    Can anyone help me?

    Adobe Reader products (including Adobe Reader Touch, Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Reader for iOS/Android, etc.) are free PDF viewers.  They do not support editing of PDF contents (text, images, etc.).
    To edit PDFs, you need a paid product such as Adobe Acrobat XI Pro or Standard.

  • How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0

    My company - [name deleted by host] purchased Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0. for me
    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.

  • 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).

    I have purchased a monthly subscription to Adobe PDF pack so that i can edit a PDF file, i have uploaded the file and its now in "my assets". how do i now edit this file??

    You can't edit a file with PDF Pack, but you should be able to convert it to a Word document, and if you are really lucky edit THAT and make a new PDF. Don't expect too much though!

  • How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

    Hi,
    I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
    Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
    Thank you

    Not all PDF files are created equal.  When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc...    This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable.  However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging.  This may get you a better result.  Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

  • 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,
