Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
I know I can set up a pdf from Publisher (using the printer and Primo) But
does it work the other way, like putting it back in Publisher? Last night I needed to change something on a document that I received and opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. I only have the free version that can't be edited directly. I thought if I could open it in Publisher it would be easy to change what needed changing. I couldn't find any option to do this. Could I put a pdf made from Publisher with Primo back into Publisher to make changes? I tried making a picture box and browsing but the pdf files didn't show up. I didn't think to try a text box. I couldn't find any options that seemed like that, but doesn't mean there aren't any. Are there any programs that one can edit a pdf file in if not Publisher? I also have Illustrator and several other programs but don't know them well, 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. Thanks, Carrie |

If you printed a publication to Primo, no doubt you still have the original
document. Make the changes and re-print. You can't change a PDF in Publisher. Your only recourse would be to ask your sender to make the changes and re-send. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "Carrie" wrote in message ...

I didn't think there was a way to import it and open it in Publisher, but wanted to make sure (never miss a chance to learn something new) What I did was print out labels with the correct address on it, and put them over the wrong one in the document (with permission from the person who sent it) and faxed it back to them that way. The sender had made a mistake in the address on the document. I was helping someone else, receiving and faxing back documents using my scanner and computer. I have Primo set up and save my own Publisher files in that, so have the originals, but this was sent to me from someone else via email.

Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
Do you have Photoshop? Photoshop will rasterize a pdf and you can edit it
and resave it as a pdf or other format. Another down&dirty way would be to open the image in Acrobat, take a PrntScrn of it then paste into an image editor and edit it - your results may vary depending on WHAT needs to be edited and what the background is, you may lose some image quality as well.

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
Rather than ruining a perfectly good PDF by rasterizing it you can open the
PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (*not reader*) and save it as a EPS file. That way it can be placed into Publisher and Publisher can't mess with the colors or content. You can try placing the PDF into Adobe InDesign and save a EPS from there. If worse comes to worse you can open the PDF in Illustrator by placing it into Illustrator. Do not *open* it with Illustrator. And lastly as the previous poster said, you can always open it in PhotoShop. But that really should be a last ditch effort. Depending on how big the PDF is you can email it to me and I'll save it as a EPS for you.

There are scads of ways to edit a .pdf file with Publisher - and none of
them will do as good a job as asking the file's originator for a copy of the file and then using the native program to edit it. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Matt Beals" wrote in message ...

Oh, we could have had the person send a corrected email to sign and fax. But this has to do with the closing on a house, which was supposed to be last Fri, but had to be postponed till Weds (and the people have a deadline to move out so need it all settled) We got the email Fri night the person sending it (in CA) was gone for the weekend till Monday morning (CA time we are on the East Coast) so would have had to wait till Monday noon (today) call and if he was in (or leave a message) ask him to redo it and send it via email again. We found someone in the office who said it should be fine to put the corrected address over it (it was only a form to sign for disclosure of a credit file, but it had "property address" for the house the mortgage will be on, incorrect) We're not waiting to hear back from the person it was faxed to, making sure he got it and it's all okay. When I realized I needed to change something on the pdf file, I wondered what was the best way to do it. I have Primo to save as pdf but don't have Acrobat professional to open them in. I assume the paperwork I changed and faxed is okay, but wanted to learn about doing this anyway. I keep finding out new things the programs I have will do, or ways to do them, I had no idea were there and possible. ~ Carrie -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Matt Beals" wrote in message ...

True, she did state that. Fortunately more than Carrie reads these posts. So
in the interest of completeness, for her an everyone else, I included that as well as several other ways of working the PDF to get a usable EPS for Publisher. Also of note is my offer to make an EPS of the PDF for her if she still needs that done. I haven't seen anyone else here offer such a thing. Which is surprising to me. Most of the lists that I am a member of we treat a community as such, a community where people help each other how ever best they can. Including doing things like saving an EPS, RIPping a job, trapping, working a file by hand, etc as well as professional advice.

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
You are so right Matt
Others read this and look for things in SEARCH and it's good to put all ways. I know you can buy Acrobat and use it for saving and editing, but I really don't know anything about it (except it's expensive and I wouldn't use it enough) I'm one of those people who write "too much" to figuring it's good to know all the facts and aspects about it. Not so much on this group, but on other groups people have commented on this, like I have to write a saga or essay about everything. People like us, who offer to help and give all the info we can about something are REALLY into sharing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I think it's good. Going by some of the groups and newsgroups I've been on this one is very peaceful, kind and helpful. Though I have been jumped on a few times for something I've written. It's a wonder people on internet groups get along as well as they usually do. Thanks for sharing and for your offer. If I had to have it changed on the pdf directly, and had more time, I'd have taken you up on it. Just trying to get a closing on a house and moving in done as soon as possible.
