Editing a PDF file created in another program

Can someone point me down on this?

When I go on change just has a bunch of seemingly random editable text boxes everywhere.

Edit PDFs of way must be avoided as much as possible. They were supposed to never be edited like that.

The solution is to go to the format of the original file used to create the PDF file, edit and then generate a new file.

If you do not have access to this file, you can try to export the PDF to a more editable format (Word, InDesign, etc.) and then work on it, but it's a long shot...

    Can someone help
    Thank you very much

    You have a few options. I finally got my work to the rigging.

    1. all reformat

    2 * at microsoft

    3. take out the computer in a microsoft store, and it will fix it for free (why? because w10 and they know it causes problems)

    W10 return to w7 installed incorrectly. Your computer is still acting as w10 is always there, even when it is not.

    So what I did, i wouldn't recommend, receiving a Filipina Lady a (microsoft) call center to work on and fix my computer. They have done MUCH worse. (I already insured at this point that microsoft is fixing my computer for free because of the w10) So after the fried Lady basically my computer, I brought my rig to the nearest store from microsoft and they fix everything, for free.

    NOW, after I brought my home computer, I downloaded a program 3rd party called GWX Control Panel. What it does, is removes all the updates from the W10, removes the POS auto upgrade feature and block updates future w10.

    http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/---> click for GWX

    If you do not use this program, w10 automatically updates AGAIN! Even though microsoft said it is a rare event DONT BELIEVE IT! It is a widespread problem, and microsoft is FORCED to happen.

    Needless to say, I lost faith in microsoft because of faulty software programming. (even my xbox one...) So I not buy more than several microsoft products, because of these bad blantly business practices.

    I'm sorry this happened to you, and I understand the frustration. Especially if younever wanted to w10 in the first place.

  • Newly installed Acrobat Reader DC will not edit a PDF file

    I downloaded Acrobat Reader DC in order to be able to modify a PDF file. However when I click on the toolbar 'Edit PDF', no tools are displayed. When I click on 'Tools' and under 'Edit PDF' select 'Open' a blank page opens, (not a page with the document for editing). I tried with a few documents. Sometimes the document desired "flashes" for about 1/4 of a second when I select 'Edit PDF - Open', but then it disappears.

    I said in the first post.

    Hi toddb52522515,

    I assume you are using Acrobat Reader for iOS/Android/Windows Phone, because you posted your question on Acrobat Reader mobile forum.  If this isn't the case, please let us know.

    With the Acrobat Pro DC subscription, you pouvez use the 'Edit PDF' function to change the text in a PDF document on a mobile device, if the following conditions are met.

    • Your PDF document to edit.  (Some PDF documents may not allow editing due to permissions and document encryption.)
    • You are registered under the Adobe ID with which you used to purchase the subscription Acrobat Pro DC.
    • You are using Acrobat Reader for iOS on iPad.  (The 'Edit PDF' function is not taken in charge on an iPhone.  In addition, please note that Acrobat Reader for Android version 15.3.1 or older did not support the 'Edit PDF' function again.)

    The information above explains why you can't edit a PDF document?

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you!

    No way with just the free reader. Can be done to some extent in Acrobat. Major changes, it is better to do them in the original file (the one which the PDF has been made), producing a new PDF file when you are finished.
