    Editing A PDF

    I have a MacBook and am trying to figure out what I can use to edit a PDF. Is there a way for me to convert this to a Word document? I don't have Photoshop, so that wont work.

    Any help?

    For starters, you'll need more than just Adobe PDF reader.

    PDF is a format for output and review, not a source format intended for editing. Thus you can only do minor changes in it, such as:

    * re-typing some text with the text-touchup tool
    * move text or graphics — but only on a per-line basis!
    * change font face, size, color for (part of) a line of text
    * delete graphics with the object select tool
    * insert a new line of text: Ctrl-click with the text-touchup tool

    For all major editing, you should go back to the original source document and afterwards re-create the PDF output. For the minor edits, you can use Adobe Acrobat.

        Well - you are right. Unless you import the PDF into Illustrator. Then the sky is the limit. It gives you control of everything page by page.

        Try doing a google for "pdf to word"
