PDF to an editable file

Enthusiast ,
Oct 18, 2025 Oct 18, 2025

Is there any way to convert my pdf document so I can edit several elements in the doc?

I own PS and Adobe Acrobat Pro as well as Adobe Illustrator but admit that I have very limited use with Illustrator.

@Heirloom Bob question is, what are you trying to do with the PDF? Is this a supplied PDF that was created by somebody else? You could ask that person for the original file, because editing the source is the simplest and cleanest option.... If that’s not possible, Adobe Acrobat Pro can edit text and images in many PDFs, but success depends on how the PDF was created.

Honestly, be mindful of copyright or licensing restrictions before altering a file that someone else created. Editing a supplied PDF can be more work than it looks and may require rebuilding parts of the document.

It is a file with a box layout for a product I am importing. The "box" portion of the drawing is fine, I just want to change the font and text size that is to printed on the box. In the end, I imported into PS, used "match Font" to get an idea on fonts and then typed out the information in a new text box and erased the original. A bit arduous to say the least but it's done and I now have an editable psd file for future iterations. No copyright concerns in this case. Thanks for your reply.
