| 240362 | 2004-05-30 01:38:00 | Hi, I have a pdf (that is already made) and I want to add text on it. I have Adobe Acrobat 5.0.... Thanks in advanced.... |

| 240363 | 2004-05-30 01:46:00 | I'd be willing to bet you have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.x Its like the PowerPoint97 Viewer, all it does is view, you cant edit it. Your best bet is to install OpenOffice.Org and copy / paste the whole lot into OOo. From there you can edit / modify and export as a PDF. Hope this helps Chill. |

| 240365 | 2004-05-30 06:09:00 | If the originator of the PDF has set security levels against editing, then you will be unable to edit the original with any package. Thats the main reason PDF is used by the way. |

| 240366 | 2004-05-30 06:44:00 | If you have the full Acrobat then you can use the touch up text tool (the icon with the T by itself, not the text select tool which is the T with the dotted square) and do limited editing/deletion. Note that you don't get text wrap or any of those fancy things. You may also have problems if the font used in the PDF is not installed on your system. Hope this gets you started - post again if ypou need more help. Tony Bacon |
