You can open it by clicking on it, but you can't change it. If you can create one, dollars to donuts that if you double-click on it, it'll open up with the reader. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 1:12:40 PM | There's no way to edit a pdf in word, and the free acrobat reader doesn't allow edits. So to actually edit a pdf you either need to have the full acrobat program, or another adobe software (like illustrator) that will open a pdf and let you edit text, etc. If you don't have a program like that you need to return to whatever the original source file was.
If you started with a word or publisher document and "saved" (printed to disk) a pdf file, you should still have the original word or publisher document to go back to. | |

Although if it's a graphical report you're probably better off just converting the individual PDF pages to images. | |
