Rather than ruining a perfectly good PDF by rasterizing it you can open the
PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (*not reader*) and save it as a EPS file.
That way it can be placed into Publisher and Publisher can't mess with the
colors or content.

You can try placing the PDF into Adobe InDesign and save a EPS from there.
If worse comes to worse you can open the PDF in Illustrator by placing it
into Illustrator. Do not *open* it with Illustrator. And lastly as the
previous poster said, you can always open it in PhotoShop. But that really
should be a last ditch effort.

Depending on how big the PDF is you can email it to me and I'll save it as a
EPS for you.

Do you have Photoshop? Photoshop will rasterize a pdf and you can edit it
and resave it as a pdf or other format.

Another down&dirty way would be to open the image in Acrobat, take a
PrntScrn of it then paste into an image editor and edit it - your results
may vary depending on WHAT needs to be edited and what the background is,
you may lose some image quality as well.
