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 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
