How to edit or add text to a PDF file from an e mail

I would like to open a PDF file from an e mail received to work the file to edit and or add text, my e mail service is LIVE.CA (hot mail), I have Iwork 09

You can convert the PDF text to regular text (.txt) and then import/open into another program and make your changes, then save the file in the programs format (for your later editing) and then choose Print from the program and there may/may not be a option to save as PDF again.
You'll need a free (limited use) PDF to text utility like
PDF OCR

Trouble here of course is you lose all the formatting and have to reformat, but it's a lot less expensive than Adobe's software.
LibreOffice is free to use and can save as PDF format if iWork doesn't save as PDF, it should unless Apple is really peeved at Adobe.

Hi,
How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?
Will be great if you can refer to any adobe provided command base utility to achieve the above target.

You can't. The commandline parameters for Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not allow any type of commands to be run.

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

You need to connect the ipad to the computer and open itunes.
Open the ipad and go into settings, icloud. Tap on "Documents and Data" and turn that on to sync to icloud.
Now go back into itunes and it should pick up your ipad already and tap on the ipad connection. There will pop up some taps on the center screen for sync options. Go thru each one (summary, info, apps, music, tv shows, podcasts, itunesU, books and photos).....you want to click on "Books".
To the left click the arrow next to the ipad under Devices.
The arrow will point down and open the sub menu, click on the "Books" sub menu here. You will see in the center window current books, PDF currently on the ipad.
Next go to the top and click on "File" (file, edit, view, controls, store, advanced, help) and click on "add folder to library"...... it will bring up your computer file system in a seperate window. File the folder your looking for and add it. This should get the folder set up to sync onto ipad thru itunes.
For additional ease in doing things on the middle window of itunes click back on summary, scroll a bit and you will see "Backup", click on "Backup to icloud". Then under "Options", check "Sync with this ipad over WiFi".
This will allow you to wirelessly sync your itunes and your ipad without having the ipad connected to the computer with a cable. You just have to be on the same wireless network.
If in itunes you add something like a pdf or photo, when your on your ipad open the Ibooks or Iphoto app and it wull update the file system to match your itunes account. The sync with with anything you do in itunes and it works the other way around also. If you save files, photos, books on the ipad, using the ipad (app store purchases, games, books)....the ipad will update to itunes next time your on the same network.
FYI - both the ipad and the computer have to be on.
Itunes updates (changes you make thru itunes), does not need itunes to be open for update content to update to the ipad. This is because it updates to the cloud.
Updates from the ipad to itunes will need itunes open on the computer. So it can sync with the cloud info.

How to add text to a pdf file?

I was sent a rental application as a pdf file which I need to fill in but I can't seem to add text to it.
How does one open a pdf file and add text to it?
I have acrobat professional that came with adobe cs3 on my mac.
Thanks for any advice.

If you don't have the original and need a word version that you can edit.
Open PDF go to Save As... choose Word and then choose format.
See this: http://www.screencast.com/t/igS0SoMDri
Note: this only works with text based files.
once its converted you can edit to you heart's content. Then once edited as need create a new PDF with a different name.
Open the Acrobat original Document Click on On Tools (if AcrobatX) and choose replace Pages and choose your new pdf as source. the choose desired pages or choose entire document.
If you have any form Fileds and they have been displaced choose edit Form, click on each field in turn than needs moving, use up down right or left arrow keys to nudge the elements to desired position.
If you have have a Form that has extended reader rights you have to remove those right by saving a copy without rights. Then onece editting completed you have to add rights.

Pdf files - how can I add text to a pdf file

I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work. Any help?

Because you are recent switcher to OS X I'd strongly recommend bookmarking and using these links, they're designed for those that have recent made the switch and for this considing it.

How do I add text to existing PDF files using Acrobat Pro10.1?

I upgraded to Acrobat Pro just so that I would be able to complete blank forms send to me as PDF files. But sometimes I can edit them and sometimes I cannot. And the "help" does mention anything as ordinary as form filling.

Phillip,
Thanks for letting me know. I see that under Save as PDF there are several

Software to add text/fill in PDF file

Hi,
Been using my MacBookPro about a year now, after 30 years in PC-land. Is there any software that came with the system (Snow Leopard) that allows me to fill in forms (write on top of a PDF form) so I can print out the form typed, instead of filling in the form by hand after printing it?
I know I won't be able to modify the form, I'd just like to fill it in with type.
Thanks!

Sure! Open the PDF in Preview, go to Tools > Annotate > Add Text.
When you are done, print it or print it to a new PDF.

How to add text to a pdf file using Access VBA??

I'm down on my hands and knees, begging. I have 300 files that I want to put a variable string at the top of the first page (centered, or at the right hand side). I am using Acrobat X and Microsoft Access 2010 and I do have the SDK and have spend over 10 hours so far searching it and the internet in general, for help and still am coming up empty handed.
I can do the looping and passing variables with my eyes closed, but I cannot get the syntax for the actual opening of the pdf and inserting the string.
I was trying to modify code I found yesterday that is supposed to add an annotation, but I don't want an annotation, I just want a string of text at the top of page 1. For now, all I want is to be successful at doing ONE file. Can someone please give me a concrete example of the code I need to use? Like I said, I'm in begging mode
Public Sub AddText()
    Dim pdDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim page As Acrobat.AcroPDPage
    Dim annot As Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot
    Dim jso As Object
    Dim strPath As String
    Dim intpoint(1) As Integer
    Dim intpopupRect(3) As Integer
    Dim props As Object
    Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    pdDoc.Open ("c:\Test\Test.pdf")
    Set page = pdDoc.AcquirePage(0)
    'Set annot = page.AddAnnot(0)
    intpoint(0) = 0
    intpoint(1) = page.GetSize.y
    intpopupRect(0) = 0
    intpopupRect(1) = page.GetSize.y - 100
    intpopupRect(2) = 200
    intpopupRect(3) = page.GetSize.y
    annot.SetColor (vbRed)
    annot.SetContents "JCPC - 22 - 2011050000001"
    pdDoc.Save 1, "c:\Test\Test.pdf"
    pdDoc.Close
    Set pdDoc = Nothing
    MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
the function only takes 19. Try the following:
Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
    jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
    jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
    100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
supposed to look like.

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 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

How do I change the text in a PDF?

I am new to the whole creating "fillable" PDFs. How can I change the font or add text to a PDF or is that even possible?

Hi bewitched tabby,
I see that you have an Acrobat Pro subscription, so you absolutely can add or edit text in a PDF. Here are some great resources for you, both for adding and formatting text, and for editing form field properties:
Acrobat Help | Edit text in PDFs
Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Modify form field properties (also applies to Acrobat XI)
Please let us know how it goes.
