Hi Pierre,

I already answered your question at the Adobe InDesign forum.

Just to be more clear:

Do all your typesetting with InDesign. On top of the placed PDF.

Remove the original text with Acrobat Pro.

The best way to edit a PDF is to start with the original native file of whatever software created it.

Failing that, it depends what you need to achieve. What do you need to achieve?

The PDF was made with QuarkXpress, but I have not QuarkXpress, and it uses DIN font.

My goal is to edit the text inside this PDF. What is the adobe product that could do the job ?

I have seen that acrobat pro does not have DIN font.

Applications do not have fonts, generally. If you need the DIN font, you need to install it.

You will get the warning here that PDF is not made for editing.

That's true, always try to go back to the source that created the PDF to make a new changed one.

If that is not possible, depending on what you want, Acrobat has some options, Photoshop can retrieve images and Illustrator can give you some vector content. Resaving as a PDF can damage the file.
