Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?

Microsoft didn't do it first, they did it bigger. Credit does go to them no doubt, but not all of it I've heard this before and how much better the Mac is, etc. it's also a lot more expensive (unless they are coming down, along with their MAC/PC commercials on t.v.) Regardless of who did it first and better, Microsoft (Bill Gates) was at the right place in the right time and took off with it. That's the way I understand it (I read the book he wrote that told something about the early days. "The Road Ahead" I think is the title? I got if from the library when it came out and it actually helped me understand how computers work) Probably a lot of people to think, but right now I have WINDOWS XP (though I was satisfied with 98SE (LOL) and Office 2000 and this newsgroup with all the help. Didn't meant to (and don't want to) start anything about Bill G., Microsoft and who did what better and first. Whatever happened it all fell into place and I now have a computer and online. And I'm sure not good at dos, I missed that era. I like it though, even though XP apparently doesn't have it. Once when I had 98SE someone on a tech board told me how to reinstall WIN through the cabs and not lose files, etc. I just helped someone do this a few nights ago, they couldn't get it to install form the CD, and would have taken all their pictures, etc. I told them how to do it using the dos prompt, and the person was amazed when it worked and the pictures were still there. I don't think it works everytime but he had taken out a program that had taken out a WIN file with it. he couldn't even get in to the file restore and didn't have a bootup disk. I'm always asking for help so it feels good when I know something that can help someone else. ~ Carrie Matt Beals Consultant Enfocus Certified Trainer Apago, Calls, Gradual & Markzware Recognized Trainer (206) 618-2537 - Cell (720) 367-3869 - eFax Come visit me at: http://www.mattbeals.com http://www.actionlistexchange.net http://www.mattbeals.com/blog/ Friends don't let friends write HTML email You know, people like to put down microsoft, but if it wasn't for them and Windows I probably wouldn't be doing what I am now (that I love to do) Thanks for all the time and patience ~ Carrie |

Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
Please do not use this newsgroup for soliciting.
-- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "visual integrity" wrote in message ... There are tools out there which either can convert a PDF file into WMF (which is the standard vector format of Windows) or to a bitmap format like JPEG. Using WMF/EMF you can make changes to the contents in publisher on object level (=lines, circles, text objects). You could loose some WYSIWYG quality. If you go the bitmap route you are not able to edit the contents anymore in Publisher. But it ensures you in most cases 100% WYSIWYG. But the quality is depending on eg resolution, anti-aliasing etc. Please mail me offline and I can send you more information about how to create a WMF/EMF or image file from a PDF-file and how to import it into Publisher. "Carrie" wrote: 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.

JoAnn...check out Adobe 8 Pro. I downloaded the trial last week (not
crippled, but there is a nag)...it's really amazing compared to what I'd been using (4).

will allow others to fill out forms and save them. I got an email back within minutes from the AD and she wants to get it.
