Open PDFs, Edit Them, Save Them?

Does Apple Pages allow you to open PDF files, edit the text in them, then save them out again as a PDF? I imagine that it can't, but this would be a very useful feature if it can.

I don't know what is your purpose with PDF documents related to Pages, but :
- You can open PDF documents produced by Pages with Preview and insert comments or «post-it» yellow styled comments. You can also make red circles to signal what has to be changed and so on. Once it's done, save your PDF modified in Preview, and send it for collaborative work. Beware, all you comments cannot be edited afterwards.
Now, back to Pages: if you want to use it in a collaborative way, add Comments. Select something on the page of the Pages document, Menu Insert>Comment. Then send your Pages document (for example zipped) to your buddy equipped with Pages.

  • The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size.  How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
    2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

  • In C#, how can I detect an opened PDF file and save it into disk?

    he WebBrowse componente in C# opened an PDF file inside. The file came from the Internet. So, the Adobe Acrobat Reader was called and opened the file correctly. I want to save this file to disk. How can I do it?
    The WebBRowse component does not have access to the PDF content.

    PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

  • How to make a pdf editable and save for print

    Hi,
    I just joined Adobe Cloud and it's been a while since I have used acrobat. I have made a brochure that I need a couple of things to be editable on. See below. I need the two areas highlighted in red to be editable for different locales/people. My questions are:
    A) I assume Acrobat is the way to do this. I also have FormsCentral if that works better. Can someone tell me how to make these two fields editable?
    B) What program do they edit with?  Acrobat Reader?
    C) How do they save and output it for print?
    Thank you,
    John

    This is not about what Acrobat can or can't do - and you just said they won't have it anyway. It's about the limitations of PDF. A proper solution is to develop (at some expense) a server side PDF generator that takes the user's input and makes them a custom PDF. I don't know if you can just subscribe to a service to do this. If you aren't going to have them use Acrobat, form fields are your only option. Be sure they (and you) understand the limitations and that they must use Reader (not one of the many other PDF viewers). Be sure you understand about reader enabling: many versions of Reader CANNOT SAVE filled in files unless they are specially prepared.
    So back to your original question: how do you make the fields editable: with the Forms function in Acrobat. You may have better luck in the Acrobat Forms forum.

    You cna do this with the security options in the PDF file itself, which you can set with Adobe Acrobat, assuming you have access to the security options in the first place.

  • Can't open pdfs; can't save pdfs on my MAC Computer

    Hi   I have problems with my Adobe Reader on my MAC computer…Mac OSX version 10.7.5.  It began when I did update my current Adobe Reader.  Eversince, I always get a window saying "Adobe Reader could not open "_______" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded."
    I couldn't open any pdf file on my desktop.  I also couldn't save a paper as a pdf form but it looks like a notebook file on my desktop…not the normal red pdf file.
    I am not sure how I can correct the problem.

    Hi jcs174,
    If you just want to save a pdf opened in Safari to your machine use the save as option from within the Reader window. Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
    or
    To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...
    Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.
    Regards,
    Shashi

  • An't open pdfs; can't save pdfs on my MAC Computer

    Hi moti-b,
    In the screenshot you have attached, on the bottom right hand side, 'When visiting other websites : ' check 'Allow Always' for Adobe Reader. Close Safari app. Open any pdf in Safari again. Check for HUD tab at the bottom of the pdf to ensure that pdf is rendered in Safari via Reader only.
    For Reader the HUD looks like :
    If pdf is rendered using Preview in Safari,HUD
    After chosing 'Always Allow' option,  the pdf should open via Reader and the Save button should work fine as well.

  • TS3991 If i produce a document on my PC in WORD.  Can I open it, edit and save in CLOUD

    Can anyone tell me if I produce a document on my PC in WORD can i edit it on my laptop and is it then saved in ICLOUD??

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have purchased Pages for the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can. Open http://www.icloud.com, login with your Apple ID, select iWork and drag your documents to the browser window, so they will be uploaded to iCloud as Word documents.
    If you haven't purchased Pages or you don't have any Apple device, instead of using iCloud, you should use a cloud service as Dropbox or, better, Microsoft SkyDrive

  • Any way to open and edit .MOD files on iMac?

    I am brand new to iMac, after wasting too many years on Windows. I have a Hard Disk camcorder that I uploaded from to my old PC. The movies are in the .MOD extension. I cannot seem to find a program to open and edit them on my new Mac. I used PowerDirector on my old PC, but that program doesn't seem to have a Mac version. Will iMovie be able to handle these files? I have quite a few home movies in this format, and I don't want to lose them! Thanks for your help!

    You can use a program called MPEG Streamclip to convert your MOD files to MP4s, which can be imported by iMovie. Also, you can change the mod file extensions to mpg which allows you to view the files with Quicktime (although, at least in my experience, they still need to be converted with MPEG Streamclip to be recognized by iMovie 08).

  • Hi, i have a doubt, i want my pdf files to be sync with the cloud but im afraid they wont open when not connected to the internet so my question basiclly is¿ can i store the documents on my device sd and edit them and when i get a internet connection they

    Hi, i have a doubt, can i have my pdf files on my sd, edit them while in class with no internet connection and when back online they will sync, all i want is to able to open my files without wifi and edit them but when back online sync their changes so i can see them in other device

    You can cache the cloud documents that you most often read by opening them once when the network is available. Edits made to these documents would be automatically synced back to the cloud if the network is available. If for any reason the network is not available, these would be synced the next time network becomes available.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • Opening pdf files on websites to fill them in on the website

    With my iMac I can open and fill in all pdf files from websites using OSX 10.6.5.  On my macbook pro using 10.7.5  or later safari will no longer open pdf files on websites and just gives you a blank black page.  I use these all the time on sites from the IRS or other taxing agencies and fill in the forms and save them or print them.  I have not upgraded my OS on my desktop because of this.  Why is this happening and how do I fix it if it can be fixed.  I talked to someone at applecare and they said the fuctionality was no longer in the operating system to do this and I can only download the pdf files.  That is not sufficient because these are fillable forms on their websites.  All businesses use this function and if apple really wants people to use their computers for business I would hope that their not so monumentally stupid as to write this out of the newer OS.  HELP

    Try another browser such as Firefox until this gets sorted out.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.
