Default Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?

Yep.
BTW... Acrobat 8 Pro is awesome - I'll be depressed when my trial runs out
:-( although I think I can qualify for the STE.

| 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.

is,

| | I know I can set up a pdf from Publisher (using the printer and Primo)
But

| |
| | 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.
