Or import it to a graphics program and paint over what you want to change.

Adobe Acrobat Professional.

Yes, that would work. Except, he requested a free solution. Adobe Acrobat Professional is appx $500.

Sorry, I can't help you. I just wanted to mention that so you weren't sent on a wild goose chase.

As far as I know there isnt a free PDF editor. I have seen some programs that change Word documents to PDF and other types of conversions but to alter a PDF file you usually need Adobe Acrobat Professional. You may go to their websight and use the 30 day free trial.

Hope this helps.

Online PDF editor PDFHammer reorders, deletes, and combines PDFs from the comfort of any web browser. That means you don't need to install anything to do a bit of simple PDF editing, and when you're done you can simply download the finished product to your desktop. Granted, you may not be comfortable uploading sensitive material to their servers (despite their privacy policy), but if all you need is to make a quick edit to a PDF and you don't want to pull out the big guns, PDFHammer is worth a bookmark. The site is currently in beta with promises of page rotation and watermarking in the future, but the features already implemented are impressive.

Cool A free trial sounds cool! Yeah, I don't have $500 to spend and I will never use it enough if I did buy it.


Thanks all for the suggestions!

Possibly contact the original author. Would probably be happy to give you the original.

Just to put it in perspective for you, one of the reasons .pdf files exist is to prevent alterations to wide-spread documents.

I see that.... I have the full pdf trial and it's not working. :mad:


So, I guess I'll make one from scratch. Here I go! ;)

I will PM you with a link, password and instructions on how to get a full version of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8. ;)

I am downloading it as I type and when I get the right version (with a key generator) I will send the PM.

I am using XP. I guess the best thing to do would be to download it when I send you the PM and give it a go.

What do you think about this ad for a news paper?

It will be black & white.
