About Justin VanAlstyne Expertise I have a full working knowledge of Adobe Acrobat 5.0 - 7.01. I have experience in creating interactive PDFs, embedding multimedia, web-based forms, creating presentations using PDF, advanced prepress preparation, PDF web optimization, color management, and using PDF as a soft-proofing tool. I do not have a lot of experience using Acrobat`s advanced Javascripting features, though a lot of custom functionality can be built into a PDF this way.

Question I have Adobe 6.0. I've lost the original of one of my documents and I need to make a change to the master that I have. I've scanned it to my computer but I can't get Adobe to let me change it.I've tried sending it to Word but that doesn't work either. I tried the Clipboard but the format is messed up. Can you help? I want to be able to change it in Adobe and print a correct version.
Thanks
Answer Byron-
Scanning the print isn't going to get you anywhere. It is just an image then. Your scanned image has no resemblence of any editable pieces to your computer. Your document might as well be a photo of you and your dog for all Acrobat cares, it all looks the same to it.
Without a PDF of your original (from the original, not a scan) and without the original, you are out of luck. Your best bet is to just start recreating the document. If there is large amount of plain (black and white) text, you can use Acrobat to OCR the text for you. You can find more about this feature by using Acrobat's help file or Googling "Acrobat Paper Capture".
