There are scads of ways to edit a .pdf file with Publisher - and none of
them will do as good a job as asking the file's originator for a copy of
the file and then using the native program to edit it.
Oh, we could have had the person send a corrected email to sign and
fax. But this has to do with the closing on a house, which was supposed to
be last Fri, but had to be postponed till Weds (and the people have a
deadline to move out so need it all settled) We got the email Fri night the
person sending it (in CA) was gone for the weekend till Monday morning (CA
time we are on the East Coast) so would have had to wait till Monday noon
(today) call and if he was in (or leave a message) ask him to redo it and
send it via email again. We found someone in the office who said it should
be fine to put the corrected address over it (it was only a form to sign for
disclosure of a credit file, but it had "property address" for the house the
mortgage will be on, incorrect) We're not waiting to hear back from the
person it was faxed to, making sure he got it and it's all okay.
When I realized I needed to change something on the pdf file, I wondered
what was the best way to do it. I have Primo to save as pdf but don't have
Acrobat professional to open them in.
I assume the paperwork I changed and faxed is okay, but wanted to
learn about doing this anyway.
I keep finding out new things the programs I have will do, or ways to
do them, I had no idea were there and possible.

Rather than ruining a perfectly good PDF by rasterizing it you can open
the
PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (*not reader*) and save it as a EPS
file.
That way it can be placed into Publisher and Publisher can't mess with
the
colors or content.
You can try placing the PDF into Adobe InDesign and save a EPS from
there.
If worse comes to worse you can open the PDF in Illustrator by placing it
into Illustrator. Do not *open* it with Illustrator. And lastly as the
previous poster said, you can always open it in PhotoShop. But that
really
should be a last ditch effort.
Depending on how big the PDF is you can email it to me and I'll save it
as a
EPS for you.

Do you have Photoshop? Photoshop will rasterize a pdf and you can edit

Another down&dirty way would be to open the image in Acrobat, take a
PrntScrn of it then paste into an image editor and edit it - your
results
may vary depending on WHAT needs to be edited and what the background
is,
you may lose some image quality as well.

| I know I can set up a pdf from Publisher (using the printer and Primo)
But
| does it work the other way, like putting it back in Publisher?
|
| Last night I needed to change something on a document that I received
and
| opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. I only have the free version that
can't be
| edited directly. I thought if I could open it in Publisher it would be
easy

|
| Could I put a pdf made from Publisher with Primo back into Publisher
to

files
| didn't show up. I didn't think to try a text box.
|
| I couldn't find any options that seemed like that, but doesn't mean
there

|
| Are there any programs that one can edit a pdf file in if not
Publisher?
| I also have Illustrator and several other programs but don't know them
well,
| or use them much.
|
| Last night I ended up printing the pdf files that needed changing (an
| address was on it incorrectly), typing the correct version and
printing
it
| on a label and sticking it over the incorrect part. Since it was
going to
| be faxed this seemed acceptable (the person getting it knew it was
being

me

| buying Acrobat, which I can't afford and would rarely use.

| Thanks,
