edit pdf

[kmacd33]

I need to edit a magazine cover and the template I have is a pdf. Would InDesign be appropriate? The cover has color sections and words. I attach a sample cover.

Probably better to recreate it in InDesign, then it'll be easy to update for future editions.

Thanks. So you are saying that I can't use my pdf template but should start from scratch in InDesign?

You can try opening it in Illustrator but it's best to get the original document.
If you're lucky, and it was built in Illustrator and saved properly, it will open nicely...otherwise you could have a mess on your hands.
You cannot open it in InDesign.

It is impossible to edit a PDF with inDesign.
