| 1219874 | 2011-07-29 06:47:00 | Hi Team I have some reports that I printed to PDF via Bullzip and I need to update them but I can't find the original Word documents. I can scan them back to text via a character recognition program but that seems to stuff up formatting etc so I'd prefer to simply edit the original file if I can. Is there any (recommended) free program out there that will let me edit these within the PDF format? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

No charges, watermarks or anything.Took about 2-3 minutes to get the converted to word back Via email. May work, if it does, convert it back to PDF afterwards as per normal -- heres an example, On the left is the converted word Document, on the right is the original PDF file Before and after shots (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 1219876 | 2011-07-29 11:39:00 | There is a prog called Foxit PDF Editor from the same house as Foxit Reader. Never used it but if wt's suggestion doesn't do what you want this might. | Robin S_ (86) | ||
| 1219877 | 2011-07-30 07:39:00 | Thanks WT It worked a treat, first attempt failed to deliver the email, and I strongly suspect that was my doing, second attempt delivered a perfect Word Doc including diagrams and all special formatting, 20-something pages all in less than two minutes from the get-go. Magic! Quick edit, save the Word file!!!, convert back to PDF and all is sweet! All docs sorted in less than 30 minutes. My appreciation is eternal......... Cheers Billy 8-{) |
