Edit a PDF

[ChuckG]

We have a process that creates a TIFF image then converts that image into a PDF.

Recently we have had the need to be able to edit and/or cut and paste portions of the information.

I know as an image in a PDF, we can't edit or extract any of the information, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way around this, or possibly a way to do a TIFF to TXT conversion?

Thanks
ChuckG

You have to use an OCR process, of some sort, if you want editable text. If you want to edit graphics, Illustrator will work, or PhotoShop.

Just a little info...

A great tool for editing PDFs is the program Enfocus PitStop. You can edit text, colors, positioning of items, including text and graphics. Very helpful.

I downloaded acrobat 7.0 to try it out. It worked fine for a week, that is when I filled in job applications it remembered the text for the nextform.
When I rebooted now I cant even use the text to type in texzt to the forms. I checked the document security properties and there arent any security on these applications. I cant figure out how to get the text to work so that I can fill them out. NOw I have to convert to .rtf, fill in and convert back so I cant use the auto fil.
Any help appreciated
