How I can open and make changes to an adobe pdf file?

[Damaris]

I have a brochure sent to me in a pdf format. I have adobe acrobat 6.0
professional. I need to make changes to the brochure. Can I make those
changes in publisher? I have microsoft publisher 2003.

No, unless you bought the PDFConverter for Word/Publisher at
www.scansoft.com

What kind of changes? If you're in 6 Pro you can make simple text edits. If
it's more than that have the person change it and send a new PDF ofr just
send you the native files so you don't have to keep going back for every
little change.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional can export as Word .doc, which can then be
imported into Publisher, although your milage may vary with this feature.
It is an alternative to ScanSoft, to be sure.

If you have all the fonts used in the PDF installed, you can edit the text.
If you don't, you will have to replace the fonts with some that you do have
installed. You cannot do this natively with Adobe Acrobat, although you can
use the demo version of Enfocus Pitstop to do this (http://www.enfocus.com)

Actually it's just for Word. I guess you could open it in Word, save it as a
..doc, and then open that in Publisher but YUCK.

Nope. It's for Publisher too. I have it ). They just don't put "Publisher"
on the box. I was one of the beta testers.

None that I am aware of. Just try it!

Hm. Works to some degree but one of the files I tried was ugly - with a
capital Ug. Funny thing is that it was a Pub file I created and then saved
it as a .pdf.

Oh yes...I never said it was pretty! But it does extract and somewhat lay it
out.

Actually that second one (the one I made with Pub) was not usable at all.
The first could have been tweaked. Better than starting from scratch.

Thanks for the heads up on that.
