Default Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?

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.
