| 1294897 | 2012-08-15 03:05:00 | In the past I was told here to convert a PDF into a word program was to,CTR A, CTR C, Open word and then CTR V. I have done that and end up with a half size version of the PDF, what I wanted to do was alter said conversion in some way. I find when I put cursor on any word it turns into a star and can't alter. Point of post is, is it not possible to alter a PDF? |

I guess it goes with the territory that if they could be changed to move a few legal terms around, then they'd not be binding. |

| 1294900 | 2012-08-15 03:53:00 | If you have Foxit (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/), you can edit unlocked PDFs. It is also a great deal faster than that ludicrously named Acrobat. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1294901 | 2012-08-15 05:02:00 | I have tried Foxit and it won't even high light to copy, which adobe did. Re legal doc. If you were to copy the legal doc by typing into a new PDF with alterations that suit you, would that overcome the safety of the original? |
