Hello all,

I couldn't fix a little something in my excel sheet, so I thought "I'll just delete it when I pdf it". Only, I can't seem to delete it! Is there an eraser tool that I'm just not seeing - or would it be possible to paste a white box (graphic) over top of the area?

Thanks,
-Sean
 
Well - solved my problem using the Text Edit tool. Still would appreciate other types of solutions though!

Sean,

You stumbled on the right solution. PDF isn't like a word processing format. It's a "final presentation" format. Acrobat does allow very limited editing, but not wholesale paragraph removal, etc.

Hi Thomas,

I did realize this, but in this case I thought that something might be done because it was at the very end of the document.

Thanks for answering though - at least I won't waste any more time trying to find a solution that doesn't exist!
