Default Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?

I have 7 Pro. Maybe I need to consider the upgrade... :-)

JoAnn...check out Adobe 8 Pro. I downloaded the trial last week (not
crippled, but there is a nag)...it's really amazing compared to what I'd
been using (4).

| There are tools out there which either can convert a PDF file into
| WMF (which is the standard vector format of Windows) or to a bitmap
| format like JPEG. Using WMF/EMF you can make changes to the contents
| in publisher on object level (=lines, circles, text objects). You
could
| loose
| some WYSIWYG quality. If you go the bitmap route you are not able
| to edit the contents anymore in Publisher. But it ensures you in most
| cases 100% WYSIWYG. But the quality is depending on eg resolution,
| anti-aliasing etc.
|
| Please mail me offline and I can send you more information about
| how to create a WMF/EMF or image file from a PDF-file and how to
import
it

|

|

| Publisher?
| I also have Illustrator and several other programs but don't know
them

| or use them much.
|
| Last night I ended up printing the pdf files that needed changing
(an
| address was on it incorrectly), typing the correct version and
printing
| it
| on a label and sticking it over the incorrect part. Since it was
going
| to
| be faxed this seemed acceptable (the person getting it knew it was
being
| done, we didn't want to wait while he corrected it and emailed it to
me
| again) Just seemed like there might be an easier way that doesn't
| involve
| buying Acrobat, which I can't afford and would rarely use.
