Best Adobe product for editing PDF, replacing English text with Thai without altering/recompressing images, graphics etc.?

I have an English language PDF, a medical device brochure, the content of which has already been translated into Thai (in Word). I want to replace the original English in the PDF with the Thai translation easily without altering any other aspect of the brochure, like graphics, images, margins etc. (No doubt I'll have to tweak line height, font sizes and paragraph lengths a little.) I'm unsure of what would be the best Adobe product for this purpose, e.g. Illustrator, InDesign or Acrobat (or something else), that would allow me simply to open the PDF, replace the English with Thai in an attractive Thai font (to be embedded), make minor layout tweaks, then save without any compression so the quality and colours of the original photos, artwork, and graphical elements are preserved. I've heard Office 2013 allows direct editing of a PDF but I'm not sure if it converts, alters or compresses PDF graphics in some way when first opening the file. Could anyone with relevant experience please advise? Thanks in advance.

Adobe's only offering here is Adobe Acrobat. However, I must say something. I have heard from many people who sought to translate a PDF in this way. NONE SUCCEEDED. PDF is not suitable for this purpose. Obtain the original, this should be part of your contract for translation. If this is impossible, expect to remake the document; Word is probably unsuitable for a brochure of this type, maybe InDesign.

Best Adobe Product for Creating Slide Show

I'm trying to find out what is the best Adobe product to use to create slide shows? I have Photoshop CS2 and just got Premiere Pro (which I haven't used before).

Many options, it depends on what you want to do.
Premiere Pro can easily make a video that displays a series of images in turn, with optional transitions between them, but the viewer can't navigate around as they could with a PowerPoint file.
Later versions of Photoshop can also assemble still photos into a video sequence.
If you want to display the slideshow on a website, you're looking at an HTML/JavaScript solution.
Finally you can combine your slides into a PDF file and set it to full-screen mode with automatic timings.

Best Adobe program for compelling editorial portfolio

Hello,
I am a writer, editor, and all-around communications professional. (In these times, it doesn't hurt to diversify.) I'm consequently trying to put together a portfolio in an easily accessed format (PDF) that showcases writing, editing, and graphic generation samples. What is the best Adobe product to do this? I need something that will let me bring in Word documents while retaining their formatting - and also then let me organize my content in pretty ways, all indexed by a table of contents.
Thanks for any help. I clicked 'Indesign' because it looked the best bet, but if this is the best program for my needs, could you briefly also explain how this program can easily fulfill my needs?
Thanks again for any help.

InDesign may well be the best bet. It's a page layout application that allows you to import a variety of text and graphic formats and arrange them on the page. It also has a Table of Contents feature Driven by paragraph styles (so you may need to add non-printing text labels for non-text items you want to include), and it allows you to export as PDF and SWF, as well as eps or jpeg (which isn't great -- you'll get better results rasterizing a PDF in Photoshop).
Normally when importing word files you do the formatting in InDesign to take advantage of it's superior typography and positioning, but you can certainly preserve as much or as little as you like of what you've done in Word. The exception to this is images you've included in your Word documents. Those should be imported again separately (you can copy/paste them with proper preference settings, but the results are usually not very satisfactory). If you want an absolute copy of the Word document, it is probably best to make a PDF from Word and import that instead.
If you have some more specific questions it will make it easier to give you the information you need.

What is the best adobe product to build an HD website moving background?

I want to design a High Definition moving background for my website. What would be the best adobe product to use? I tried After Effects but the quality lowers when i integrate it.

... as with anything, you have to ask what the purpose of the 'web application' is: are you developing a portal system, a data collection form with or without reporting capabilities, logins, accounts, etc. - or an internal web application meant to handle simple business tasks with small amounts of data?
The Oracle product offerings can run from simple (APEX) to more complex cases (ADF, WebCenter Framework, etc.) - it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
A good place to start would be just to download the JDeveloper IDE - JDeveloper supports a really wide array of Oracle technologies so you can get a feel for what might be the best 'tool' for your use case.... and JDeveloper even supports a number of standard web app approaches (e.g. Apache Struts) if you're familiar with those kind of tools.

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Yes, Mountain Lion has a convoluted method to do a "Save as", but try this. Open the applicable PDF, from the "File" menu select "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the PDF file and highlight the name at the top of the page. Here you can type in a new name, and a gain from the "File" menu select "Move To" or "Save" to save the resultant, newly named PDF.

Is there any way a Student could get adobe products for free?

Is there any way a Student could get adobe products for free? For Educational Purposes?

You can rent the Creative Cloud software for about $30/month.
I don't know if a Student discount is availabe for CS 6 - I couldn't find that info on the web site.
Adobe never has given students free software, and why should they? The folks at adobe don't work for free.
They already offer fully functional progams at a deep discount to students, who can use them for whatever purpsose they want. That should be enough.

I have to create a presentation about waste water management. The students needs to see how the water flows in the system. Which is the best Adobe program for this task?

I need to show dirty water, the treatment, and the clean water after treatment. It is necessary to see how the water flows in the tubes.
Which is the best Adobe program fr this job?

After Effects, but be ready for a steep learning curve. Third party plug-ins may be required if you want realistic flow. Schematic diagrams are fairly easy to create with After Effects. I do it all the time.

Thanks alot..
Received a call from Manager and we will be using Two Technologies :), PowerPoint Capture will be done by Camtasia as we are already using it and have recently upgraded from 6 to 7.
@John I am abit confused on your last statement. Can you please explain it abit.
Let me clarify more my requirements:
We will be shooting on a 720P Camera or Cam Corders and I guess it's HD.
We will be conducting Interviews and more Class room trainings on a White Board.
We will capture that and remove the noisy or unwanted part and then distribute it online as well as on CD's or DVD's.
I guess it's pretty much simple.
So please give me your Final suggestions:
Director or Premiere Pro + Encore or Premiere Elements.

What is the best apple product for my wife?

Hello all,
I recently broke our Windows laptop (stepped on it and cracked the screen). The price on replacing this screen makes me feel, that I should go the extra mile and just replace the thing since it was sort of up there in age anyway.
So here is where I need you guys. I have heard that Macs are excellent products, but I know VERY little. My wife and I have been with windows our entire lives. I sincerely apologize for the "noob" questions, but googling for a couple hours has left me with little first hand experience that fits us well. With that being said...First question:
Is there anything a typical Windows user will have trouble adjusting to?
For example, I know the iphone/ipod touch don't use flash. Are the macs the same? I read that they dumped flash in 2010? Can you still use it if you wanted to? Is there an alternative? But what I'm really getting at is, how hard will it be for us to transition? Are there typical windows features we may lose? Is it true that I'll no longer need anti-virus software?
Is the MacBook Air right for us? Ipad 2? MacBook Pro?
One reason I want a Mac, as I've said, is that I've heard that they are the best. I want to give my wife a very good gift. She never gets anything top of the line for herself and I want to spoil her with this surprise without her being able to tell me "no". Therfore, I want this new item to tailor to her more than me.
She mainly uses the laptop for pleasure. She loves to browse sites...read articles...and most of all, check up with friends on facebook. She is also really really into pictures and editing. She loves to take pictures and create little videos with music and whatever and I've heard that the Macs have pretty good software for this (Does it come standard?).
Anyway, while this will be pleasure over business 95% of the time, she may need word processing capability. This is likely to be extremely light work. Example would be listing DVDs we own. Possibly touching up a resume... She's been interested in writing a book though, so maybe this has the potential to upgrade to more business (I guess I may have just eliminated the ipad, huh?).
So is there a type of apple product that seems to scream out for my wife?
Also, If it has any weighing in this decision, we both own ipods.
I very sincerely thank you guys for reading my wall of text. I am happy to read links if you have any good ones to share instead of writing yourselves. I know I've overwhelmed you guys with a ton of questions. And I'm sorry if this is a topic you get all the time, but I figured I'd give it a try to make the best decision I can!
Thanks so much,
Danny

Hi Danny,
These are some great questions, hopefully I can answer them appropriately for you.
MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air vs. iPad 2
The good news, outside of an optical drive, those first two are pretty similar in terms of functionality and features. Throw the iPad 2 into the sequence and it changes things significantly.
While the iPad 2 is an exceptional product with near limitless features, thanks to the App Store, it still requires a computer. It can wirelessly print, but how did that printer get setup? It can stream over AirPlay to your Apple TV, but how did that AppleTV get setup? Not to mention, having your media backed up is always a good idea.
There are two big differences between the MacBook Air & MacBook Pro and it's something to consider.
1.) How often do you need peripheral ports?
The MacBook Air has 2 USB ports, a MiniDisplay Port and a headphone jack. It does not have a FireWire port, it does not have an Ethernet port, it only has an SD card slot on the 13" model, it also does not have an optical drive.
Are these important to your wife? Will she routinely be burning, writing to or reading from CDs/DVDs? If so, you'll need to purchase an external drive and tie up one of your USB ports or purchase a hub. It also does not have an Ethernet port and in order to gain access to one you need to buy an external adapter that again ties up a USB port. It also only supports 10/100 connections, not 10/100/1000.
There's no doubt that CD/DVD media is in a decline, soon just about everything is going to be available via direct downloads and many things already are so maybe that's not important. Given the device's portability and how many places have WiFi you could justify not needing an Ethernet port. Most manufacturers default their peripheral connection for external media to USB, FireWire is very Mac specific and often times adds a premium price onto the accessory. Gigabit Ethernet is negligible for day-to-day usage, unless you're moving multi-GB files on a routine basis.
2.) What sort of potential growth opportunities do you need?
One glaring limitation to the MacBook Air is that you cannot upgrade the RAM or HD capacity, something that you can do on the MacBook Pro. OWC does make 3rd party flash storage but it's very expensive, especially when you compare it against platter drives.
Storage will vary from user-to-user. I have probably 50GB worth of media between photos, music, videos, etc. My wife on the other hand? Well over 1TB of content and although she doesn't access it daily, it's frequent enough where it prompted us to get a NAS solution for our apartment.
RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of in computing. You won't hear someone way: "Wow, this computer is way too fast." Unless you're trying to install a computer game from the early 90s.
I encourage you, if you end up with the MBA, to consider the upgrade to 4GB of RAM. I question how relevant 2GB of RAM will be on a computer in 2 or 3 years and what the demands of programs will require then.
Get to an Apple Store
Go early in the morning during the week or late one weeknight an hour or so before the store closes. Spend 20-30 minutes with each of the three products you're considering. They're all preloaded with software, games, productivity applications, sample galleries, etc. Ask the people on the floor to let you discover uninterrupted but be nearby when you're done and have some Q&A. Don't let them dry to "drive" your experience or prattle about how awesome and magical it is. They don't know exactly what you'll be using it for and if you tell them you're brand new Apple they'll usual try to show you what they like, not what you might like by blind discovery.
Macromedia Flash & Applications
Flash does not work on iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPhone) but it works just fine on the MacBook Pro & MacBook Air. Every new Mac will come with iLife which includes: iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb. They're fantastic programs and are "gateway" products to Apple's next tier of products:
iPhoto -> Aperture
Garageband -> Logic
iMovie & iDVD -> Final Cut
iWeb is the red-headed stepchild in this equation. You'd graduate to an Adobe product like Dreamweaver if you suddenly became interested in web-design.
Good luck in your decision making process!
