Hi
Could you tell me what other options are there for TouchUp Page/Object Editor besides Illustrator?
Thank You

Hi,
I am using Acrobat X Pro on a Mac running system 10.5.8. I have been unable to get Acrobat to recognize Illustrator or Photoshop as external editors. They are both selected in the preference panel but when I try to invoke either one of them I get an error that says that Acrobat cannot start the editing application. The same error occurs whether I select CS5 or CS4 apps.
Do you have any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks,
Jim

I had this effect in older CS versions, but it could still persist.
The workaround is opening the Photoshop/Illustrator package in the finder, locate the Photoshop/Illustrator .app file, create an alias, and move that alias up into the Applications folder. Then you should be able to select the Alias when specifying the external editor.
HTH.

This is a known bug of Acrobat X, not corrected by the 10.0.1 updater…:-(

I tried your tip, but it didn't solve the issue in X.

Thanks, Merlin, for the confirmation (that it does not work, and that it is a bug). I guess, it is going to take its time to be fixed…
You need to have a high-end vector art editor to edit the pages.
