andsome Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I do get very irritated with things that I receive in Adobe. If I want to send them on I cannot change anything at all. My daughter sent me some Adobe files with some artwork in them that she wanted printing. There was slight misalignment that I could not correct, and the results were not to my usual standard. How does this program compare on this point? Can I guarantee to be able to open any file in Adobe PDF, and edit is if I wish, without buying an expensive writer?

Can I guarantee to be able to open any file in Adobe PDF, and edit is if I wish, without buying an expensive writer?I agree; I have always viewed this as a major problem. E.g. filling in a form, then printing it, or as your little adjustment, just for printing. If modifications were allowed, but no possibility to save, that would make a much more useful product.I have in the past tried to convert PDF to Word docs, but all with horrible results.From the description on the Foxit website, this tool also seems to have no ability to modify the contents. (But I haven't tried it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that some business concerns may not want documents altered in any way, but since companies can afford a writer program, this is nullified. For the average Joe public, I think PDF is an absolute pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I like adobeI take a lot of pictures in my line of work and have to put them in document form, that can result in court action. therefore the pictures need to be in a format that can not be tampered with. Also the compression is great as well. I just did a Locus report of an area that was 4mb in size in word, compressed with adobe it is only 809kb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
