The PDF (or Portable Document Format) is a file format often used for electronic books and magazines, brochures, comic books, important forms and documents, and many others. It’s a wonderful format that allows you to preserve graphic images and texts on your files. A PDF is very easy to open, read, navigate, print, and send to others as long as you have installed a free Acrobat Reader.
Editing a PDF, however, can be a bit tricky. Unlike common formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or Publisher, not everyone can easily alter the files right away. You need to do a few things (or use a few tools) to successfully do your modifications.
Adobe Acrobat can be very useful for creating and editing PDF files.
Simply open the file and then enable the Advanced Editing feature by going to “Tools” then “Advanced Editing.” Also click “Show Advanced Editing Toolbar” so you can begin editing the file.
If you want to edit an image (or several images), just use the “Touch up Objects” feature found at the right end of Advanced Editing toolbar. Click on the image and choose “Edit Image.” You will either be led to Photoshop or another appropriate software that lets you tweak the graphic.
