I'm curious to know WHY you want to edit a PDF, which was designed as a non-editable end-of-line format. Did you want to make small changes and re-issue the PDF? Or reformat the whole document to repurpose it? It's usually MUCH easier to edit the original document and regenerate the PDF. > On the PC I've tried open office with a pdf extension, but that > doesn't seem to work very well, though it might vary depending on > the type of pdf. Several posters have already explained the difference between a textual PDF (text you can copy and paste) and an image PDF (which contains pictures of pages, and no actual text). > With the pdf that I tried, I wasn't very satisfied with the free online > version of ms-word either in the way it handled the pdf. > > I'll give the free adobe pdf-editor webapp a try to see how that works. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not. Peter
