I bought the Adobe pro CD to edit my PDF file. When I change any word or spellings it creates big gaps in the text and disturbs the right alignment of the page. I have not used this programme and I am finding it difficult to make any use of it. Can you advise? should I return the programme to you? What should I do? I am wasting my time and not achieving any thing.

PDF files were not meant to be edited in such a way, so doing so is always going to be risky.

The results will vary a lot, depending on your version of Acrobat (the newer the better), and the way the PDF file was created.

Hi,

I also having problem to edit PDF.

When i switch to edit PDF, Acrobat DC merge some images to single image.

Wireframe preview(Pitstop) before enter to Edit PDF, the barcode on the bottom is a separate image.

After enter to edit PDF, some images were merged to single image.

This had prevented me to edit the barcode only, instead i need to open the whole image from photoshop.

You should probably have asked your question in a new thread.

The objects may be grouped, which might prevent individual selection, I can suggest a possible work-around. Using the PitStop select object tool, select the barcode and right click (or control click) and assign the barcode to a new layer, save the PDF, then try the Acrobat edit object. If it still doesn't work, temporarily turn off the other layers, then select the barcode. To turn off layer visibility, go to View> Show/Hide> Navigation Panes> Layers, and un-check the eyeball.

In response to the original question, If Tariqr has PitStop (an expensive Acrobat plugin) he can use it to combine, expand or move text, for somewhat easier editing. It's always better to make the edits in the original application and make a new PDF.
