Trying to edit PDF file without success

I am trying to edit the wording of a a few lines in a long pdf. I have seen the tutorials but cant find anywhere it shows how I can delete and correct typos. How is this done in preview if it can be done at all?

William is correct regarding PDFPen. Here's where to find it:
http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html
They do indeed offer a free trial. It's fully functional. The only thing it does that might inconvenience you is put their logo on any pages you might print.
I've used their product for several years and am a satisfied customer. I do not have any financial or other interest in the company or product.

Hey christopherc53009480,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat you have purchased.
Also, please share the screenshot of the message that pops on your screen as I need to analyze the exact issue.
Hope to hear from you.

I have a pdf file, and I am trying to edit it? how do I edit it?

I have a pdf file, and I am trying to edit it! How do I do that?

Another option is to open with Illustrator - AI files are basically PDFs anyway. This won't work for security protected PDFs and any embedded images will be at original resolution (so you won't be able to enlarge/edit them and if low-res will stay low-res) and any text blocks can break up into separate words/letters but depending on how much editing you want to do it may be an option. Any vector images, tint blocks or outlined text will be perfect (and editable - the PDF is now an AI file).
Just drag and drop into the Illustrator icon on your dock to open - if you don't have the correct fonts for the file Illustrator will tell you what they are and replace them which can mess up any text so I'd suggest noting the missing fonts and then install those needed and then re-launching Illustrator and open the PDF with correct fonts installed.

We are gettting this error consistently when trying to edit a pdf.

Multiple PDF files are open at the time ((about 4 to 5) not counting word, excel and outlook is open and running as well) that we are getting the crash error. Please see error below:

In Form Central, when I add a field, I select the Add File Attachment icon (see screen shot below - it is the 10th icon from the left, the paperclip over a sheet):
Then it allows me to fill in the field, describing the file to upload, and the properties to the right defining the file size limit, type of file and other properties. This is all done through formscentral, thus allowing a user in my form to upload a file that is attached to the form when submitted.

Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,
Sara

Trying to add PDF icons to my Assignment Block (CRM 7 WebUI)

Hello gurus,
I am trying to display a pdf icon in every row of my assignment block in CRM 7 WebUI. I am using one click actions, so I have an actions column, and I the logic to make the icon image appear is in the GET_OCA_T_TABLE of the context node class. When I create actions like delete and edit, it is very easy to get the icons, for example, the following code works perfectly and the icons are displayed in the assignment block:
   ls_one_click_action-id      = 'DELETE'.
    ls_one_click_action-icon    = 'delete.gif'.
    ls_one_click_action-text    = ''.
ls_one_click_action-id      = 'EDIT'.
    ls_one_click_action-icon    = 'edit.gif'.
    ls_one_click_action-text    = ''.
But, I cannot add a pdf icon.... I have tried the paths to PDF icons in the MIME repository, and I have tried getting the PDF icons like this cl_thtmlb_util=>GC_ICON_FILE_PDF or with cl_thtmlb_util=>get_icon_url(pdf)... nothing displays anything but a broken image.
Please help me! <text removed>

Thanks!!!
You mean, in the .htm file?? Well that would not work, at least not in my case, because there is almost nothing in the .htm.. Anyways, thanks a lot. I did not find it your way.... In the debugger, I found the path through the MIME repository to the default MIME types for THMLB.
Now I have to open a PDF file in IXOS in a new window in the WEBUI....... how can I call a PDF in IXOS based on my an object ID??
Thank you!!

Trying to edit a document in Acrobat and random text types instead of what is actually typed.

I just reinstalled Acrobat for a user because of a bug that caused Acrobat to not open. I then installed the patch to fix it and it opens fine now.
Now when the user tries to edit text in a PDF, it just types in garbage text. I tried to update 2010 to 2013 on a different document and it changes to “201 )”. The text is completely random. The same thing happens if I paste the text as well.
Can anyone help me resolve this?
Thanks,
Justin

I have now tried the following with no luck.
Reinstalling Acrobat
Repairing Acrobat
updating Acrobat to the latest version
Uninstalling the font and reinstalling
Windows system restore to before the issue started happening
Created a new windows user profile
The issue does not happen if I type into any other document type. It is just an issue with PDF files in Acrobat. I tried logging in as a different user on the computer and the same issue happened.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Unable to edit PDF created by Word 2011 on Lion.

Two weeks ago I upgrade my 24-inch iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion on which I am running Adone Acrobat 9 Pro (with all the latest updates).
My challenge is that I am trying to edit a PDF file created using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac. When I print the file from Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and click on the PDF button, the only option I see to create a PDF file is "Save as PDF", so this is the only option open to me. (I seem to recall that there used to be a 'Save as Adobe PDF' optionm, that is no longer there.
When I open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I get the folloiwng message:
"Acrobat was unable tp make this
document accessible because of the
following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts.
<unsupported Type 2 font>[1]
Please not that some pages of this
document may have been changed.
Because of this failure, you are advised to
not save these changes."
Any thoughts as to how I can create a file using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and then be able to edit it in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

Steve,
Might M. Kazlow's announcement be relevant?
Announcement: Mac OS X.7 Lion Compatibility and Acrobat X
Mac OS X.7 is not fully compatible with Acrobat X.

Error message when trying to delete pdf in 10.1

With 10.0.03 everything in Acrobat worked fine. In 10.1 I get an error when trying to delete pdf files I've recently worked on. The message says:
"Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? Then "file name".pdf, Type: Adobe Acrobat Document, Size: 153 KB, Date modified: 6/18/2011 3:28 PM.
Other times the message is:
"The action can not be completed because the file is open in Acrobat.exe. Choose file again. Then "file name".pdf, Type: Adobe Acrobat Document, Size: 153 KB, Date modified: 6/18/2011 3:28 PM. Try Again"
This happens everytime I try to either delete the file using a menu to delete or drag the file to the Recycle Bin by hand.
Only way to get out of the loop is to log out then log in. This only started happening after updating to 10.1.
Anyone else see this problem and know how to fix it?

Just a suggestion but I have found on WIn 7 that showing a pdf in the
Preview view can make win think the file is open and locked for editing. The
little icon on the taskbar makes it easier to turn the preview on and off. I
always check my open explorer windows now when I get messages like that and
it usually clears it up. Hope it works foryou.

Create text editable PDF for client to edit in Adobe Reader

I would like to create a PDF from either Illustrator or InDesign so that my client can edit just the text in the document using Adobe Reader as necessary (for flyers and business cards etc). I want to set the file up in Illustrator or InDesign so all text is laid out properly where I have the proper tools to do so, rather than using the Acrobat form tool and guessing measurement/layout etc. I have tried exporting to PDF from both programs and then using Acrobat Pro's form feature but it won't recognise any of the fields. I am using CS4 and Acrobat Pro 9 and am unsure if my software is too old to complete these tasks or if I am doing it incorrectly. I have seen it done in plenty of places so I know it is possible, I'm just not sure how.
Here are some links showing examples of what I am trying to do:
Using an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation Template.mp4 - YouTube
How to use an e.m.papers printable RSVP template.mp4 - YouTube
So, basically any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
How do I make text editable in Adobe Reader (from an Illustrator or InDesign file)?
How can I easily put the same design onto the same page (eg 8 business cards on an A4 page with crop marks) multiple times so that if I need to change the design slightly, it will change the design on all of them?
How can I make the PDF like it is in the YouTube videos, so that when you edit one "product/design", it will edit all on the page?
Or, how can I create a file of multiple business cards on the one page where they can have a different employees details on each card?
This is my first time using this forum so if you require any further information, please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When trying to edit text and fonts in Acrobat Pro 11 I keep getting a message saying acrobat has encountered an unknown error?

I have just downloaded Acrobat Pro V 11.0.0 and tried to edit an existing PDF file. When I try to do this I receive a message that Acrobat has encountered an unknown error - what am I doing wrong?.

Hi myarwema,
Are you using Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows (and what version?). You say you have version 11.0.0, but the current version is 11.0.10, so please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates for starters.
Does the error occur regardless of the PDF that you try to edit? If the problem is widespread, I would recommend a repair/reinstall of Acrobat (if installing the updates doesn't help). If the problem occurs with just the one document, that PDF could be damaged.
Best,
Sara

Clicking "Edit PDF form" stops Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 from working. [FIXED]

As the title says, whenever I click "Edit PDF form" in Acrobat Pro 11, it displays the message "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then when I click OK it closes.
It is a fresh install. I tried reinstalling, by removing it first, i tried a repair, I also tried using Revo Uninstaller to clean up anything that was left after an uninstall, and still no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.
It is running on Windows 8.1 Update (x64), and the version number for Acrobat Pro is 11.0.10.
Thanks!
**Update**
While I was writing this I had an epiphany, so I checked the Windows application logs which logged the following error every time Acrobat crashed...
Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af
Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.4121, time stamp: 0x5474d740
Exception code: 0xc0000005
which lists nvd3dum.dll as the culprit. This has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card or drivers (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600)
So after a little research I discovered a little registry tweak which "specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds." (Quoted from MSDN)
So I added the REG_DWORD value TdrDelay to the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, and changed the value to 8. After rebooting this seemed to have solved the issue I was having.
Here's a screenshot...
Hope this helps someone!

We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them. Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat. Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!! From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade. We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products. We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $. Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back! They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!
Cheers,
Actiondan
