how can i edit on acrobat a pdf  that was created on indesign

Edit exactly what?

The form fields?

Edit the non-form field text and images?

Did you create the original form?

It would be best to edit the non-form text using InDesign and then adding the form fields and interactive items using Acrobat.

i did not create it

need to be able to edit everything, the border included

Then you need to use InDesign to edit the source document from which the PDF was created. Acrobat is not an authoring program.

For the most part the responders are volunteers and not paid Adobe employees.

Most of the responders will tell anyone who wants to edit a PDF and have the best possible results is to use the original program that created the file that was used to create the PDF.

Acrobat has very limited editing capability and has a very limited set of fonts available to editing when compared to Word or InDesign.

Another option would be to print out the PDF and then scan it to an image file. Then edit the graphic elements with an image editor and then OCR the image to convert the text image to real text. Now one can edit the text.

if i get indesign and just have the pdf form of what was created on indesign but not the  have the original work file would i be able to edit it as i wish or will there be some constraints

No, that would be useless to you. You need InDesign (at least the version used to make it, or later, but not earlier); you need the original document; you need all the original graphics; you need licenses for all the fonts used. There is no magic bullet for editing InDesign files without this stuff. The Acrobat editing can be used to fix typos and so forth, but it is a desperate last resort.

You should fix up your Shift key too…

Hi.

I just do it since about 20 years and I not care about your false obviousness.

And I'm not a soothsayer, as everyone here, if you have a missing font issue you would have been better to say it before.

So any expert could have answered immediately: "It's not an Acrobat issue, just install the missing font in the Fonts folder in your OS" (should we also guess which OS and which font?).

And also: say hello, be respectful and write correctly is not a luxury, it's just politeness and good manners.

Be well.
