Adobe Acrobat Question

[Mayfriday0529]

Anyone know if its possible to edit PDF files after scanning them in with Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.
I have a questionare sheet and its already filled out and i want to erased the text already on it to send clean new pdf forms to others.

i could white out it but thats last resort and would have to go buy it first.

Just go to Tools->Advanced Editing->Touchup Text Tool

I have tried before and i just did right now, nothing happens. i choose touchup text tool, but i dont get no options to drag and highlight a section or anything.

You wont be able to edit the text in the PDF if you scanned them from a paper document. This is because the document text is not true text but more like a JPEG image of the text that was on the paper document.

is there any way to at least highlight the text and color it white? that way it looks like its erased, then print a new sheet and rescan it?

If you want to do that you will need to use Photoshop to edit the PDF.

If you manage to color it white... then you could just save and distribute. You wouldn't need to print it and scan it again....

Only Adobe Photoshop, or can Photoshop Elements 2 do it... which i did try and the document became when open very blurry and then when it was saved back to pdf it was still blurry.

if anyone has done that before let me know.. i'm going to run out to store and get white out probably fastest thing.

Photoshop Elements should be able to be used to do this. Is it possible that you send me this PDF and I can look at it. If the text is already rasterized it shouldnt get blurry when you load it into Photoshop and also shouldnt save blurry unless you are changing the DPI of the document.
