Hi Emmanuelr66263524,

How you have been trying to edit the PDF document? please let us know the application you are using for editing?

As you can not edit any PDF document directly without Adobe Acrobat pro/std dc subscription(paid services).

I have checked your account but couldn't find any service registered under it.

Regards,

Akanchha

Thank you and cancel my free trial.

If this problem can not be fixed, let me know how I can cancel my current subscription to Adobe PDF Pack.

Thank you.

How do I purchase the edit pro function?

[AkanchhaS]

Hi Sandram,

In order to use the "Edit" functionality, you need to subscribe for either Adobe Acrobat DC/Acrobat Std DC.

Please check- Plans and pricing | Adobe Acrobat DC

I don't know why I have tried to purchase a new account (which I dont need by the way) and am told that I cannot because I need to purchase a different type of product, because I already have Adobe Acrobat. I really need to get this document edited and I don't want to purchase another plan. I already have Adobe Acrobat and should be able to edit PDF documents.

[rickmann1949@gmail.com]

using adobe pro

[rickmann1949@gmail.com]

I already have acrobat/Pro and I am unable to edit a document. need help with that. In trying to get this straightened out I have inadvertently activated a free test subscription that I don't need please cancel this test and repair whatever the problem is with my current Adobe Acrobat Pro/PC

[Test Screen Name]

This is not Adobe Customer service and we can't straighten out account issues. We are just fellow users of the products. Contact Adobe - as soon as possible, and you MIGHT avoid a cancellation fee.

[Beverly22970515so2c]

[Beverly22970515so2c]

Summary: How to Edit a PDF.

Note that these are instructions directly edit (and permanently change) the content in the PDF. Editorial mark up and commenting is in the next section below.

1. Open the PDF in Acrobat Standard or Pro. FYI, the free Adobe Reader does not have tools for editing a PDF.
    
2. Open the Edit PDF tool panel. It's either already docked to the right side of your screen, or you can open it from the TOOLS tab (upper left corner).
   Open the Edit PDF tool panel.
   
   
3. Two sets of tools appear, one across the top of the screen, the other in the right-side panel.
   — Click inside a paragraph of text and you can add, delete, and format text.
   — Click on the 3 dots ... in the upper right toolbar for more options.
   — Click on an image and you can select Replace Image from the right-side panel.
   Tools to edit/add and format text.
4. Note that you can't edit an image directly in Acrobat because the software doesn't have image editing features. But you can open it in your preferred graphics program, make the image adjustments there, and bring the revised graphic back into Acrobat.

Open a graphic in another program to edit it.

How to make editorial markups in a PDF.

These are generally used by editors and proofreaders to place visible editing marks on the PDF. These tools do not actually change the content like the above tools.

1. Open the PDF in Acrobat Standard or Pro. FYI, the free Adobe Reader does not have tools for editing a PDF.
    
2. Open the Comment tool panel. It's either already docked to the right side of your screen, or you can open it from the TOOLS tab (upper left corner).
   Open the Comments tool panel.
   
   
3. Two sets of tools appear, one across the top of the screen, the other in the right-side panel.
   — Tools across the top let you mark-up the text: insert, delete/cross-out, add text, and draw symbols and call-out boxes.
   — The right side holds a list of comments that have been added to the PDF.
   Tools for editorial mark-up and comments.
   
   
   
4. To change the color of any comment or editorial markup, either:
   — Right click on the comment, select Properties, and choose another color. It can be a one-time change or for comments going forward.
   — If your screen is wide enough, you might have the color circle icon in the top toolbar.
   Change a tool's color.

Suggestions:

• The default blue used for editorial markups is difficult to see in a PDF (in the above screen capture, there's one just below the subhead "Basic Lists"). So I change my color to a bright red which helps everyone spot where the editorial changes are to be made.
• When you click a comment in the right-side comment panel, the actual comment will be highlighted in the PDF text.
• Other editors can reply to a comment directly in the original comment. Very handy way to have a group discussion about the content.
• And the little checkbox can be used to indicate that the editorial change has been accepted. (But remember, the checkbox doesn't actually change the content in the PDF — Comment Tools are only editorial markup and comments.)

Hope this helps Acrobat users.
