You can always try this, Carrie. It is rather complicated but it does work
Converting PDF Files
So that they can be imported into Publisher
http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/convertpdf


I love this stuff. I don't even know what to call it (playing around with
Publisher, etc) (LOL)

I love learning new things about it, even if I don't really need to know
at the time, but just to know.

After all that with changing (correcting) the address on the documents I
had recieved as pdf, and faxing them back the person who got them (Mortgage
co) said it didn't really matter as long as they were signed. They were just
to release credit reports for the person getting the mortgage.

But I sure have (and am) learning from it. And, I probably could have
saved the pdf docs as text in WORD, made the corrections and printed them
out (or faxed them right from Word) Now that I think of it.

I love this newsgroup! Sometimes I stop reading here because when I do I
don't get much else in my life done (LOL)

Don't know what, if anything I'll ever do with what I learn but I do
love doing it.

I just used publisher 2000 to make a calendar with pictures (even though
it makes the date part smaller because each page is on regular printer
paper- well I used "cover stock" paper) I made a calender like that to see
if I could then converted it to pdf using PRIMO and found out how to put it
on a webpage as a download. When downloaded it will print right from
acrobat (etc) the 12 pages. It's only the first attempt, to practice and
learn, but I am psyched just by doing it.

I guess it's not too professional going by what others do here- and those
with actual jobs doing things like this, but it's the first time and I'm
excited about it.

I'm saving the directions for converting pdf in my tutorial files. I like
to learn how to do things just to know how to do them.

You know, people like to put down microsoft, but if it wasn't for them
and Windows I probably wouldn't be doing what I am now (that I love to do)
And these groups- which we can get at no cost, are the BEST.

Thanks for all the time and patience

Do you have Photoshop? Photoshop will rasterize a pdf and you can edit
it
and resave it as a pdf or other format.

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 have photoshop 7. I'll have to try it.

I tried taking the screen shot and copy/pasting it in Publisher and
could change it that way, but where it was going to be faxed back using
my scanner, which is still on my old WIN 98 computer (I have a new
computer and printer now, but left the old Lexmark 3 in one
printer/scanner on the old one in the bedroom because I rarely need it) I
figured the quality would go down all that more. The documents were just
release forms for a mortgage co to check the person's credit (who is
buying a house) but they had the address of the property they are buying
wrong on it. We didn't know if it was important, like if they signed and
faxed it that way, they might have to do it all over. But, putting the
correct address on a label and pasting it over and faxing it like that
(everyone knew it was corrected) seems fine.

What do I do in Photoshop to rasterize the pdf? When i get a
chance I will look, it might have a setting for it.

There's always so much to learn, good thing there are so many
smart people willing to help.

Thanks,
Carrie
