Trying to edit a .pdf file. Please help.

I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat 30-day free trial, which comes up as "Adobe Assistant" on my machine, and I've been trying to use it for editing a .pdf file, but it doesn't do anything but want to download an entire folder of documents. I don't want it to do that, but can't seem to do anything else. When I load Acrobat separately from a .pdf I already have saved, (even logging in to Acrobat), and try editing the .pdf document, it keeps launching to the website page saying that it needs to be paid for to use. I'm confused. How can I try the editor to see if I like it? Isn't it all one program or is the Assistant different from the Editor?

I may be wrong, but I think you are not using Adobe Acrobat at all. It sounds as if you are still running Adobe Reader, for some reason, rather than Adobe Acrobat, which looks similar but has many more options. If you are not sure, tell us what you see under TOOLS - main headings - or look at the title bar.

  • 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!

  • Re.problems with translator after converting pdf file.please help:-)

    Please can someone help me.
    i've converted a pdf file to a word document but it was a scanned document so word had to translate it but its come out as a load of gibberish.
    i have over a hundred pages of corrections to make because of it so i was wondering if any of you could either tell me what i could of done wrong r tell me how to do it right:-)
    thanks a bunch!!!

    You cannot use Reader to do what you want. Depending on the language of your original document, you might be able to convert the document from a scan to text with Acrobat Professional.  You can also investigate programs that are dedicated to OCR.

  • Failor, can't open Adobe .pdf file - Please Help

    Hello,
    when I save a .pdf document to SAP, as you can see in the picture below, and try to open it, I get the failor that SAP is not able to open this .pdf in the "DEFAULT" Network.
    I'm really new in SAP and don't know how I can change the network or somthing else to solve this problem.

    Marc, you might want to post this question in the Basis forum, or ask a moderator to move this thread. You'll most likely get more qualified responses there.
    SAP NetWeaver Application Server
    Also you might want to provide more details as to what kind of document you're trying to open (e.g. in what transaction). And, instead of posting the pictures, just specify the message text and/or message class and number (e.g. V1 100). The error messages are unreadable on your pictures.
    And, better yet, ask your manager to get a qualified Basis admin.

  • Editing a PDF file on Illustrator to maintain custom font from another computer

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit a PDF file on Adobe Illustrator and the file has a custom font in it that I do not have saved on my computer/Adobe does not recognize.  Is there a way to save the file so that I can edit it, but so that Adobe does not replace the font with a basic font?
    I have tried:
    -Opening it in AcrobatPro vs. Illustrator
    -Saving the PDF (2 pages) as 2 separate JPEG files and placing them into Illustrator... That just lowers the resolution of the images and they are much lower quality/more pixelated
    -Placing the PDF file in Illustrator rather than opening it in Illustrator
    None of those worked, and now I am not sure what to do.
    Please advice ASAP- Your help is much appreciated as I am on a time crunch!
    Thank you!

    You can do it with Acrobat. Not Acrobat reader.
    It is also possible with Preview.
    Open the file in Preview and export it say to the Desktop.
    Than open the second pdf and import the file.
    Than you can delete tha parts you so not need and leave only one page.
    It can be used if the pages are not too many or it will take a long time and I am not sure if it will work with big files.

  • Editing a PDF file with Acrobat XI pro... some "text" is not selectable and vanishes upon saving

    Hi folks.
    I've googled around for a few hours, but I'm completely stumped with this one.
    I'm trying to edit a .pdf file that was generated from Word 2007.  Mostly it edits fine, but for reason some of what appears to be text isn't selectable with the text and image editor... in fact it doesn't even have a bounding box around it.  When I move around the document or save it in acrobat pro, the "text" then vanishes.
    I include a dropbox link to a partial screenshot image which shows what I'm talking about.  You can see that the italic bold A doesn't have a box around it in some cases.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/42i8xms78lvw12b/Screenshot%202014-02-07%2011.19.07.png
    Can anybody kindly shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill.  Thanks for replying. 
    Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file.  The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
    I'm using AA XI 11.0.06.  Upgraded this morning.  That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
    I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear.  Or don't in this case
    I only need to change a few characters in the file.   However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
    Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine?  I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
    Thanks!

    Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

    I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
    Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
    Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    Hi johnc,
    I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
    Best,
    Sara
