Question
Can i convert .pdf to adobe illustrator file and as well as adobe designer and InDesing. If yes, How can i do it? Please suggest.

Answer
Hi Renuka,

It's not exactly "converting" but yes, you can open a pdf file directly using Illustrator and then save as an ai doc.

I believe, for pdfs generated by Illustrator v9 and up, you can change the extension from .pdf to .ai since the format is the same.

For InDesign, you will have to place the file into a blank InDesign document and save that document.

Hope this helps,
Amy

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
