Option to edit PDF document on UCM without checkout or check-in new rev

We have a request to allow user to edit the PDF document on the UCM site itself to save steps like check-out or download native file and upload it after modification.
We want to integrate Oracle R12 invoicing module with UCM. Presently Oracle generates Client invoice and emails it to finance team. The Finance team makes modification to few invoices (PDF document) and email it to different team for approval. The problem is finance team don't have to explicitly download the PDF because it is already in the mail box and explicitly not required to upload it. If we provide the option to edit the PDF on the UCM itself then the steps like check-out and check-in can be avoided.
Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend you to go with AutoVue, or other context annotation techniques (OnTrack, now Oracle Social Network supports this feature as well).
Like this, PDF is not modified, but rather context annotations are created. This is also a better design - in a document is being approved, you know what is the original, and what is a comment (annotation).

How do I activate the "Signature" options of a PDF document created 11/8/13

How do I activate the "Signature" options on a PDF document?

Hi Spud640,
Click the Sign button on the toolbar to open the Sign panel
The panel is divided into three sections, expand the I Need to Sign section
Click the Place Signature button under Fill & Sign
Select the Draw my signature radio button
Use your mouse to create a signature in the large edit field
Click the Accept button
At this point the cursor is the signature, where ever you click in the file will place this image,
Unless you clear the signature, the next time you select the Place Signature button you won't see the dialog above, it will just go right to turning the cursor into your signature.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

If I purchase Adobe ExportPDF to edit pdf documents in word will it interfere with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 standard already on my machine?

Edit PDF documents?

I paid to be able to edit PDF documents and I still can not open and edit.

HI Baffled Nurse,
Welcome to Adobe Community .
We are sorry for the trouble that you are facing . Can you please confirm what product have you purchased to edit PDF or was it an online service that you have used ? Also, what is the error message you are getting while you are trying to open/edit the files?
Cheers.

Reverse a payment document (J/E) without voiding a check

Hi
With T-Code FCH5, the client created a manual check and was attached to the incorrect J/E (document created with T-Code FB01). Now, the client needs to unattached the J/E and attaches to correct Journal.
The question is: Can we reverse the payment document (J/E) without voiding the check? Any experiences? Ideas? Workarounds?
Thanks,

Hi KP,
have you checked tc FCHT? This transaction allows you to turn around two chequenumbers without any posting
Best regards

When will we be able to open and edit PDF documents in Indesign?

Hi
It would be nice if Indesign could open PDF files.
When will this happen (without a plugin)?
Today I need to open the files in Illustrator. The customer prefers to use Indesign, so even though Indesign can export pdf documents I will have to tell the customer and the program can not open pdf files. This I find really weird.
Hopefully opening and editing pdf files in Indesign will happen real soon.
Have a great day!

Paal, I'm sorry for that little out-lash. There is nothing wrong with inquiring the feasability of a new feature. The problem is that PDF has been an "output intended format" from the very beginning.
An Illustrator file (from a fairly modern version) also is a PDF file, for all intents and purposes. You can rename an .AI file to .PDF and use it anywhere, with any software that supports PDF (so that's excepting Apple's Preview, probably ;-) ). Moreover, you can still open and edit this PDF with Illustrator and get all of your objects, symbols, layers, paragraph styles, and guides back!
That's because in fact this file *contains* all this extra information in a data block marked "For Private Use Only". Other software, if adhering to Adobe's PDF specs, will simply ignore this (and thus my little jab at Apple's Preview). Does that mean you can edit such a PDF with *any* software? No -- the Illustrator data is "proprietary", and the details are not published to use by other software developers. Similarly, one could envisage InDesign to do the same. Yes, it would lead to *huge* files -- but hey, you would be able to open THAT file into InDesign and edit it. But not with any other software!
The meta-problem is that an extremely large amount of this private data would be *extremely* dependant on the software that was used to create it with. What would an Illustrator file do with InDesign's GREP styles? What would InDesign do with Illlustrator's brush styles, or symbols? Illustrator allows slanted guides, InDesign does not.
And let's not focus purely on a combo of ID and Illy; Photoshop *also* outputs PDFs, and its graphic data has yet another set of requirements.
So all of Adobe's software would need to be able to parse *every others' data* to some degree. Well, it's still not "unconceivable" as all of this would need to be done in one office (note that in that single office there are still vast differences in something as straightforward as a User Interface across the CS suite). But there are lots of other software developers out there, and they *all* want to write out PDFs, all with their own internal data! (Think of the different requirements between an architectural app and one for graph plotting.)
A *possible* solution would be to add "more" metadata to a PDF without crossing into the realm of "every single bit". Article tagging is an example of this -- it tells software that wants to know in which order *plain text* is to appear, and as such it serves as meta-data for plain text content. But the mind reels thinking of what more to add -- a list of used GREP styles per paragraph would probably be useless to anyone else.
But such an idea will not solve the problem, as 1. this meta-data is optional (lazy programmers would be allowed to say "nothing to see here, move along"), and 2. this data would only get added to *newly created* files, and it would not retroactively make older PDFs editable ...
(Now that's just the *short* version :-) h

How to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Pro without any compression

Hi,
I just edited an existing PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 - actually I inserted some high resolution images in TIFF via the Touchup tool.
What do I have to do to save it without any compression of the TIFFs - I tried a lot, but the outcome is always compressed, showing artifacts.
Thanks

First, editing PDFs is really only for minor fixups. There is generally no word wrap or such when doing such editing and often then seem to go downhill fast. To edit text, you have to have the font available. If the file was scanned and the OCR applied was searchable text, the only option to edit what is displayed is with a graphics editor, typically PhotoShop. PhotoShop allows Acrobat to have edited graphics and then be reinserted in the file (I don't do it, so can't give details). ClearScan replaces what is seen on screen in the graphic with the text. In that case, you see all of the text and the corresponding errors (often many). You may want to load a graphic (bitmap) with text showing or use a scan and try the various versions of OCR to see what I am talking about. That may help you see the options. Searchable PDFs is more useful if an original is critical, such as in the legal profession.

Can a PDF document import JPGs without resampling them?

I created a multi-page graphic portfolio booklet in Photoshop, with each page in its own folder for simple management.
The idea was also to create a lighter PDF version of this thing for online distribution.
Each page contains 95% images. Only a single line of text is present. I was going to save that text as line art (not merge it with the pixels).
Here is my traditional procedure for doing so :
Make the page/folder I want to save visible.
Save As PDF
Remove Photoshop editing capabilities, downgrade to 150dpi, High JPG Quality (not Maximum)
Do the same for every page in the booklet
Assemble the booklet by inserting pages once inside Acrobat
Now, for whatever reason, the images look like crap. I tried NOT downgrading to 150dpi, and they still look like crap. In fact, nothing short of Maximum JPG Quality + 300dpi (ie, no resolution resampling) will result in nice images.
I can resize to ridiculously low res inside Photoshop itself and it'll still look decent, but asking the PDF converter to do it botches everything.
Since this is a 95% graphical PDF document, I'm willing to do away with the line-art text, and just save all of these pages as JPGs. Flat traditional JPGs look 100 times better than what comes out of the other end of a PDF conversion.
My question is... can I use Acrobat to assemble these JPGs into a single multi-page document WITHOUT resampling them in any way?
In other words, without the PDF converter crapping them up all over again?

...per page, naturally (in case that was unclear).

How to download adobe reader to edit pdf documents

I am new of Mac and lost in editing a pdf document. It seems I have to have Adobe reader.Where do I get this from? safely I mean.Thank you for your help

No. Adobe Reader is the free product that does exactly that reads PDF files. Adobe Acrobat on the other hand is a product which does everything Reader does plus it can create, edit and merge PDF files. The downside to Acrobat is that it cost.
With the Adobe Reader that you downloaded you can't edit a PDF document only read it.

Editing pdf documents

Hi - I thought I could download Adobe, well I DID, but when it finished downloading it told me then that it wasn't compatible with Mac
How or what do I do to edit a pdf document - or maybe I can't at all can I? Ta

Sounds like you downloaded a version of Adobe for mac that wasn't the version for Lion.
However, neither Preview (the pdf reader included in Lion) nor the free version of Adobe Reader will allow you to edit the actual content of a pdf. You can overlay new text boxes to obscure the original date/venue with Preview but it will look pretty tacky!
You need to get Adobe Acrobat for that
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/edit-pdf-files.html
It's a paid for app, but you should be able to download and install a 30-day trial which might allow you to do this job before having to pay for it (note: I'm not sure if the trial is full-featured or not, you'll have to check that out on Adobe's page. Make sure you get the version that's compatible with Lion this time!).

Creating "Editable" PDF documents??

I was wondering if anyone knows of any great Mac software to create editable PDFs. I'm looking for good commercial software, although freeware is OK, but prefer tried and true software. Basically, I have some documents I want to add some fields to, and let my customer fill it in, then print it out. Any help will be appreciated.
Bryan

Actually Acrobat is not the application for creating .pdf files.
You do that almost anywhere else, such as InDesign, Quark Xpress, Illustrator or any Cocoa app in OSX such as Pages, Keynote, TextEdit, iText Express etc.
After you have created your pdf, then you use Acrobat to edit it, ensure links are working, manipulate fields etc.
It maybe extremely clumsy, bloated, unintuitive and a general mess but it is virtually the only game in town.
There is no such thing as an uneditable pdf file, you just need the tools to get at the postscript.
You may find Illustrator a useful adjunct to fixing the visual aspects of a pdf file as it will open pdfs in an editable form for the graphics, not links or form fields. Be aware that a final distilled pdf file can be messy and requires some knowledge of how postscript works to unpick and reconstruct.

App for Editing PDF documents

I use PDF's in event planning and I was wondering what app is best to use to draw schematics over the PDF document and be able to email it out to all participants in the meeting at the conclusion.

There are a number of PDF apps which allow annotations, including drawing. I have iAnnotate PDF which has a very robust set of editing, annotating and drawing tools, and Expert PDF, which has a simpler interface. Both allow emailing PDFs.

Will the Adobe ExportPDF allow me to edit PDF documents.

I purchased/subscribed for one year at 23.88 Adobe ExportPDF. I was trying to buy what I needed so I can edit a PDF document.......Did I buy the right thing? I had the free version of Adobe installed before purchasing the ExportPDF.

You can export to a Word document, and often edit THAT. The original PDF remains unaltered and unedited.
