Adobe Sales is closed for Thanksgiving (no regrets; glad for them). But, I'd like to select a product to help my Facilities Director make some adjustments to old building diagrams that are in a PDF format. What's the entry-level Adobe product for editing graphics? (I started researching Acrobat, but the marketing documents don't describe altering pre-existing documents.)

Thanks to all....bobby.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

Acrobat is not a very good editing tool for anything. If possible, you should use the original authoring program to make the changes and then convert the updated source document to a PDF format. Once you know the authoring program, then you can find out if that program can export a PDF document or Acrobat provides a converter macro, like for AutoCad with layers, or you will need to print the updated document to a PDF virtual printer that will create a PDF like a printed sheet of paper.
