Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
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 |

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. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "Carrie" wrote in message ...

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.

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
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.

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
There are scads of ways to edit a .pdf file with Publisher - and none of
them will do as good a job as asking the file's originator for a copy of the file and then using the native program to edit it. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Matt Beals" wrote in message ...

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
True, she did state that. Fortunately more than Carrie reads these posts. So
in the interest of completeness, for her an everyone else, I included that as well as several other ways of working the PDF to get a usable EPS for Publisher. Also of note is my offer to make an EPS of the PDF for her if she still needs that done. I haven't seen anyone else here offer such a thing. Which is surprising to me. Most of the lists that I am a member of we treat a community as such, a community where people help each other how ever best they can. Including doing things like saving an EPS, RIPping a job, trapping, working a file by hand, etc as well as professional advice.

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.

The sender had made a mistake in the address on the document. I was helping someone else, receiving and faxing back documents using my scanner and computer.

I have photoshop 7. I'll have to try it. I tried taking the screen shot and copy/pasting it in Publisher and could change it that way, but where it was going to be faxed back using my scanner, which is still on my old WIN 98 computer (I have a new computer and printer now, but left the old Lexmark 3 in one printer/scanner on the old one in the bedroom because I rarely need it) I figured the quality would go down all that more. The documents were just release forms for a mortgage co to check the person's credit (who is buying a house) but they had the address of the property they are buying wrong on it. We didn't know if it was important, like if they signed and faxed it that way, they might have to do it all over. But, putting the correct address on a label and pasting it over and faxing it like that (everyone knew it was corrected) seems fine. What do I do in Photoshop to rasterize the pdf? When i get a chance I will look, it might have a setting for it. There's always so much to learn, good thing there are so many smart people willing to help.
