How to edit and or remake mass amounts of PDFs

I work for a company whose instruction manuals for over 60 different products were originally created in Adobe Indesign CS2 and were then converted to PDFs. There are simple edits and changes that need to be made to these files on a weekly bases. No longer having the original file they were created in, we have had to suffice to converting the .pdf to a word doc and make changes this way, but with all the formating issues we need a better way to do this. What is the best program to have these pdfs converted to to be able to edit them? Are there any programs to do a conversion without having to completely recreate the document? We're also looking for a program that would be best in making simple quick edits when needed.

This is a monstrous task. I assume you have already tried to move heaven and earth to get back the InDesign documents? Including all options for getting them back from backup?
This is really a disaster. In losing these documents you have probably lost years of work which will have to be redone. Fixing it up in the PDFs just isn't viable.
Converting to Word isn't much of a solution: InDesign supports much more complex layouts than Word. You need to decide either to go for a simpler layout that Word can do, or rebuilt them in InDesign. If there isn't an InDesign expert in house, it is likely to be more cost effective to pay a professional to rebuild them. There are of course options for streamlining, it isn't like the original layout, since the text can be copied and pasted. Maybe even graphics too.

How to edit and add a signature on a pdf file

how to edit and insert signature on a pdf attachment
Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs

First the PDF file has to be editable.
Then it depends on whether you want to sign it with an annotation (Acrobat stamp), an Electronic Signature (a.k.a EchoSign) or a Digital Signature (Acrobat).
If it's a Stamp then go to Sign Panel>Get others to Sign and then you can use the Place Signature button.
If it's an Electronic Signature then after you finished your stamp then just follow the wizard that pops up when you click the Signed. Proceed to Send Powered by EchoSign
If it's a Digital Signature then go to Sign Panel>Work with Certificates>Sign with Certificate and follow the wizard.

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

Question: How to edit and/or delete photos uploaded to web gallery?

My Dad uploaded some photos to my web gallery without renaming the photos. Is there any way I can go in and edit and/or delete these photos? Sorry if it's a dumb question... I'm new to iLife '08 (really new to iLife in general)... and for the life of me can't figure out how to edit and/or delete these photos (without deleting the whole library).
Thanks for any help!
Ciao ~ Louie

Guess I just answered my own question.
For anybody else that may be wondering...
From within iPhoto there is a "WEB GALLERY" tab in the left side menu. There you will see the name of your web gallery with a little icon that looks like an antenna. If you click on that icon... it will sync your web gallery photos that have been uploaded by other users into iPhoto. You can then edit and/or delete the photos within iPhoto and the edits will automatically change on the published web gallery (may depend on sync preferences... mine changed automatically).

how to edit a converted Word Document from a PDF file

Hi Edit Converted Word Doc,
What's happening when you try to edit the file? Have you tried triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit?
Please let us know what sort of trouble you're running into. It would also be helpful to know how the PDF file was created, and what version of Word you're using.
Best,

How to edit and save a document in Pages

How do I edit and save a document in Pages with MacBook Air

1) Do you want to edit a .doc(x) and then save it as a .doc(x) again? You'll need to be a bit more specific
2) Pages is an analogy to MS Word, so editing would be just as simple as typing. Go to 'Help' in the menu bar in Pages and then select 'Pages Help' to enter How-to's and Tutorials from Apple on using Pages.

Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

Export pdf how to edit and save converted files

I finally was able to convert to docx format, but see no way to use the converted file. How can I edit and save in jpeg format?

Hi Chuck,
Please tell me what the problem is with the converted file. Are you unable to edit it, or did it not convert as you expected?
Can you tell me how the PDF was created? (Different applications write PDF files differently, and some aren't as good as others--that can affect conversion).
Best,
Sara

Hi,
You have to put the following code in the PBO of screen 1000.This code would make the fields editable to make changes in the table control fields directly.
Here there are 3 transactions.For create and change transactions, the fields will be in editable mode and for display transaction,they will be non editable mode.
DESCRIBE TABLE tb_line LINES lin.    " tb_line is the name of the internal table for the table control
tcl_item-lines = lin.                             '' lin hold the number of lines of the internal table
CASE sy-tcode.
    WHEN 'ZCREATE09' OR 'ZCHANGE09'.
***Checking if the table control is empty or not***
      IF lin NE 0.
        LOOP AT SCREEN.
***To make the screen editable****
          screen-input = 1.
        ENDLOOP.
      ELSE.
        LOOP AT SCREEN.
          IF screen-name CS 'TB_LINE'.
****To make the screen non-editable if no values are present in the
***table control****
            screen-input = 0.
            MODIFY SCREEN.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
      ENDIF.
Once the fields are edited and the save button is pressed,the entered values have to be populated into the Z tables.The code has to written in the PAI of the screen 1000.Here the values from the work area of the internal table are moved into the Z Table. The code will be.
LOOP AT tb_line.
    ztm09_ekpo-ebeln = ztm09_ekko-ebeln. "ztm09_ekko and ztm09_ekpo are the names of the Z Tables.
    ztm09_ekpo-ebelp = tb_line-ebelp.
    ztm09_ekpo-matnr = tb_line-matnr.
    ztm09_ekpo-menge = tb_line-menge.
    ztm09_ekpo-meins = tb_line-meins.
    ztm09_ekpo-netpr = tb_line-netpr.
    ztm09_ekpo-waers = tb_line-waers.
*****Update the entries into item table*****
    MODIFY ztm09_ekpo.
ENDLOOP.

How to Edit and Replace Psd Files in Adobe Flash - Help!

Hi Everyone,
I am new to flash and I am trying to build my first flash site using a flash template. I can use flash to edit certain components like header text, etc. But The content is impossible for me to change. I think that these are psd files, which I can open with gimp or another program and edit. I save and replace that file, but when I view movie again, the content is the same. I guess what I need to know is how to get these files back into my flash movie after I have edited them. Please help, I am no computer expert, but I am learning. A how to for dummies answer would be awesome.

Maybe You should try the Flash-forum:

How to edit and save pdf inside a website

I have multiple users i.e. 200 users on my website and I want to have an editable pdf, which I want each user to edit online and save the information. I can access and edit pdf online in website but it doesn't save the information what user enters. What all I need to do to save the information, user enters? Also, do I need to setup separate pdf for each user, I think yes but how can I setup pdf for each user?

"Edit" how, exactly? Unless you're all working via SharePoint (or something
similar) what you're describing is not going to work.

How to Edit and update a Procedure belonging to other owner

1) How do i edit a stored procedure
2) After editing it how can i update it in other users log

You need resource privilege to recreate a procedure in another user's schema, CREATE ANY PROCEDURE.
Then you need access to the source code. Offline access is best. The data dictionary won't let you see package bodies belonging to other users from the ALL_SOURCE view, but should from DBA_SOURCE. GUI tools like TOAD and SQL Developer may let you see other users source but this will depend on the editor. Likewise the GUI tools may/may not let you edit others users code when you have privileges.
Generally, you don't "edit" stored procedures. You get the source, use an editor to modify the source, and replace it with the new code. Its best to keep offline backups of source while you are working on it, especially if you are using a GUI tool where a botched editing session will corrupt the online copy.
If using SQL*PLUS to recreate another user's stored procedure you need to prefix the create command with the username, something like
create or replace package scott.my_package ...which may not be necessary if you're using a GUI tool.

How to edit and reload JavaScript code without restarting Acrobat?

As a programmer, I wonder if there is a better way to do things that I still cannot figure out.
At the moment I write code in Notepad++, save it in Acrobat's Javascripts folder, open Acrobat, test the code and find out it doesn't work (no surprise there ).
I then have to close Acrobat, edit the code in Notepad++, save, open Acrobat and find out again that it doesn't work.
Rinse and repeat for an inordinate amount of times, especially at the beginning of a new "scripting project".
The JavaScript Debugger is great but, unless there's something I don't know, doesn't let me edit the code directly in its window.
As you have worked out already I'm referring to folder-level scripts, so the "Document JavaScripts", "Set Document Actions" and possibly even the "Edit all JavaScripts" buttons are in fact useless.
Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader... ain't no Visual Studio and I don't want them to be but please tell me there's a way to write code a little bit more on-the-fly
Thanks!
Roberto

Thank you both for your posts!
I spent a few days working and experimenting with Javascript in Acrobat and my first impressions are sadly confirmed.
try67, you are absolutely correct, but the console approach for testing and developing doesn't work if the add-on is heavily dialog box based (because debugging is disabled).
Not to worry though, any difficulty can be overcome and frankly it doesn't take that long to relaunch adobe anyway
Thanks for your time!
