How to edit images in PDF files

I have just downloaded X1 and I now have a page ratio error with Autocad DWG files converted to PDF. Page Ratio should be 420 to 297
but is 420 to 63.5 which produces tiny scaled to fit images in the centre of a long horizontal strip. My question is how do i correct this ratio. Hoping you can help. Thanks. Brian

Nice and clean template.Thanks very much.

Hi sct hunt -

Sorry, I can’t help you there. This discussion area pertains to editing content in a PDF document. Perhaps do an online search for the sorts of graphics you need.

Does anyone know a good page for picking up graphics for drawing simple floor plans?

Seems that this video does only work with flash cookies.

Hi Ron -

The simplest way is to make the changes in Acrobat. Is the DRAFT text included as a background or a watermark? If so, that’s an easy fix. If not, you can still do it fairly simply, although it’ll take more time. If you’re using Acrobat XI, use the Edit Text & Images tool, select the objects page by page and delete them. For earlier versions, use the TouchUp Text or TouchUp Object tool (depending on the DRAFT word’s composition) and delete them.

Hi Roy -

Document tags are structural identifiers for the different elements on a page. In Acrobat, they are quite similar to those you see for a Web page, although Acrobat isn’t an HTML format, of course.

Check out this short video for more info:

Hi John -

You are referring to Drawing Comments, and yes they are definitely mentioned on any site discussing Acrobat features.

The type of markup you’re describing can be done using Adobe Reader XI. Any earlier version would require the document author to enable the document for use in Reader first.

Help!

How do I take a document that has draft written across the page background. Its a pdf. How do I get rid of the word draft from all pages after editing and saving as a word doc. Also it is not a watermark so that did not work.

Thanks

What do you mean by having the document tagged?

What is the lowest level (cost) of Acrobat that allows graphic editing…drawing lines and shapes on PDF graphic files?  And adding text boxes?  I need to mark up PDF road maps and don’t want to convert them to Word to do so.  I used to be able to do this with an earlier version of Adobe Standard(work computer).

PS…website never mentions graphic editing (balloons, shapes, lines added by an editor to a PDF drawing or photo).

Hi Jaye -

Yep. You can still do the same thing. You MUST have the document tagged first, though. Once you do, open the Content panel, open the container containing your image, right-click the image and choose Properties.
When the dialog box opens, click the Tag tab, and you’ll be able to input alt text.

Sorry I should have been alot clearer.

What I need to do with Images on a Mac is edit and add alternative text to a PDF that has been sent to me to ensure it is more accessible. Now I can do this on a PC but once I open it in a Mac options come up but it is greyed out and I cannot edit anything.

Not visually editing - editing for screen reader use

Some minor differences between the Win and Mac version. I work on both environments. The acrobat file storage is great though.

Hi Jaye -

Sure you can. I did most of the tutorials on Mac and it doesn’t work any differently.

You cannot edit images on a MAC.
