Hi,

PDF is a destination not a journey. Graphic PDFs moreso. You need the
source.

Break out the scanner.

Cheers,

Sean

Subject: How to convert PDF file originally created in Illustrator/In
Designto editable format


Hi everyone,
We have some .pdf files originally created in InDesign and Illustrator,
not the source files, and need to be able to edit them, add new text,
and new graphics. 
 
When we try to select text, it's impossible because it seems the .pdf
was saved as a graphic.
 
Any ideas???
 
The next step will be to try to scan the pdf and see if any text comes
out....
 
Urgently looking for an answer/answers! Help.
 
Thank you much,
