Editing a table in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

New Here ,
Feb 19, 2020 Feb 19, 2020

I am working on a table that was initially created in Word and saved as a pdf. I have linked documents to the table in Adobe. I now need to add lines to the table. If I edit the document in Word and re-save it as a pdf, I will lose the links to the documents. Is there a way I can add rows and text to the document while in Adobe?

No, for page content, PDFs are fixed documents. Small edits can be made, but not something as complex as adding rows to a table. You can however replace the page content using the "Replace Pages" feature on the "Organize Pages" panel.  This switches out the content, but keeps all the annotations (i.e. fields, markups, and links).

So, fix up the word file and save it to PDF with a different name. Then replace the pages as necessary. You'll probably have to move some of the links around, but you won't have to recreate anything. 

 

BTW: links in word can be part of the PDF conversion. This is a setting in the Acrobat add-in  for word.
