Edit a PDF file?? 1

[GSMike]

Is there a way for a user to do this (when the user doesn't have Acrobat, just has Reader)?? Like via MS Word, Excel, etc.?
Is it possible to edit a pdf file if you have Adobe Acrobat? If so, is it edit-friendly, or is it kind of like editing an HTML page, kind of ugly and all.
Thanking you in advance, Mike K

The reader alone will not allow editing.

There are certain types of editing which can be done using acrobat, such as editing text, moving artwork, lines, objects, deleting objects etc. It is not a proper editing package though, so you would not be able to change font size/colour/style amongst a large number of other things.

If you see pdf files as the "finished product" of a document then you will not be disappointed by the editing restrictions of acrobat Derren

I load a pdf file with this...what code do I need to make the user able to enter text into the pdf document for printing or emailing?
