| 1294907 | 2012-08-15 21:18:00 | Cic: Why do you want to change a pdf? Isn't your obituary written the way you want it? I have got the idea in my head that it is possible to change the wording by cunning means,I got the idea from a previous inquiry on what was the point of a PDF, now it seems I am wrong, which is sad seeing as how I bragged to friend that I could alter one of her PDF's, none of us like to be wrong, do we? Thanks Zwert and Ga. |

Should be easy for you, Cic. (Just don't tell them how you did it. They will think you very clever, indeed.) |

| 1294910 | 2012-08-16 05:56:00 | The question is Ros, will I be able to alter the PDF? My method does not edit the pdf file as such. Use, as Gary suggested, Nitro PDF to convert the pdf file to a Word document, edit the pdf file in Word, then use the "save as" in Word to convert it back to a pdf file. You have, in effect, edited the pdf file. Clever, eh? Easy peasy, Cic. |

| 1294913 | 2012-08-16 15:08:00 | Isn't there some sort of embedded time stamp/date/sender code in each PDF? If the original v altered PDF aren't the same digital-sig, can't that be detected? | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1294914 | 2012-08-16 21:06:00 | did you send it to them? it should come back attached as a word doc to the email you get back from them It came back as a word dock, that can't be altered? |

No good Zwert, tried that and nothing. When I click on new doc little squares appear all round and that it.! I could send it to you or Ga to have a go? |
