Default Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?

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.


I received it in email and it opened in Adobe Acrobat reader.

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.

Thanks,
Carrie

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
