Re: Editing PDF Files

[JimGroark -at- aol -dot- com]

I prefer to copy and paste the contents of the .PDF file into a new
Word document and do my editing there.

Use Edit, Paste Special, Formatted Text (.RTF) when pasting
the text into Word.

Use the Tables tool to copy tables, the Columnar text tool to
copy columns, and the graphics tool to copy graphics.

I've tried Illustrator but, with large documents, it hiccups
before I get done.

Corel Draw poses more problems than it solves, as does Canvas.

There's also a product called Aerial.

  "Just had a questions from a co-worker. What can one do to edit a PDF file? 
Is 
  there an application that will let me, for example, get a graphic from a 
PDF 
  file?
  I thought I heard that there is a software application that let's you edit 
a 
  PDF file. If anyone knows a quick way to do this and/or the name of the 
  application, I appreciate hearing from you."

  The tool you want is Adobe Acrobat (used to be called Acrobat Exchange). 
This 
  is the authoring copy of Acrobat. I'm assuming that you are using Acrobat 
  Reader to view the PDF now. If all you want to do is "get a graphic" from 
the 
  PDF, you can select and copy it in Reader and paste it in another document. 
If 
  the author blocked this feature in the security options, then you're out of 
  luck. Feel free to contact me off-line for more information.
