No, you can't.

No! The whole point of PDF is that it is not readily editable. The full
version of Acrobat *may* allow you to save an editable version. Failing that
you will need a third party utility such as PDF2TXT or OCR software that
will handle PDF such as Finereader.

There are 3rd party programs that will do this, btw. Just go to Google and
you'll find them.

Hi M.J.,

Well Office X3 does have some abilities for this and they've gotten some of the limitations and bugs worked out, but it's still a
'wait til next version' item (same with many of Office 2007's items too g) features.

Does WordPerfect handle a PDF that was created from a graphic of the text (a
common ploy to make plagiarism more difficult)? OCR can deal with this as
can some of the third party converters, but Acrobat cannot.

Graham,

WP will open it as a graphic only. You can still read it, but you cannot
edit it unless you do so in Photoshop or PaintShopPro, or even in WP's
graphic program.


As for Acrobat, well, I just purchased and downloaded Acrobat 8 and it can

I haven't had any problems opening up PDFs in WP. Incidentally, I prefer WP
over Word any day, but unfortunately everyone is going to Word. Billy's
disastrous deeds are winning out. WP is the far superior program.
