There are ways to do this with enumerable programs such as Nitro PDF and Nuance's PDF Converter. Neither of these works well with speech except as conversion to Word or RTF then reconversion back into PDF. Nota bene that some features may well be lost in the transition. If this is something you will have to do more than once or twice, best to buy the real thing. Acrobat Standard and Pro will do the trick, and they should work with speech. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sarah.jevnikar@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 1:49 PM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Making pdf files editable Hi again all, Hopefully this won't be duplicated like my last e-mail. I've been given files in pdf format and I need to add to them. Is there any way of converting them into an editable format?
