Basically to sum up what Im doing with Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.1.1:
Ok...I have the original document. Its 491 pages for the first half of the catalog. I have to replace the logo in the bottom corners into the other companies logo. I did just convert the .pdf to .ppt and copy and paste my logo in. After that when scrolling through the document you would see the original logo first and then the new logo that I placed there would show up. I cant have this happen because after the file is done I have to burn it to a CD for distribution. So I need a way to stop this from happening. Im hoping that there is a specific file type that would prevent this from happening or a way to merge the new logo into the file so that its permanent.
We have permission to edit the original document. Its for my mothers boyfriends business in heating and cooling. The catalog that they have is the catalog that they are letting us use to distribute their products under a different name. Basically they are the manufacturer and we are a representative for them. I downloaded PDF Password Remover and it removed the password no problem along with any other protection that was there. But unfortunately it appears that the logo is embedded into the document. So now I need to remove this logo somehow without copying and pasting.
I noticed in Adobe Acrobat Pro v8 that I can crop every page at the same time. What I would like to do is crop about the bottom 1/2 inch off and that would get rid of their weird page number and their logo. And then resize the page back to the standard 8.5x11 page without distorting any of the images. After that go back into the document and add my own logo and set the footer to have standard page numbering. Is there any program out there that can do any of these tasks?
Im using the .PDF document right now with the password removed along with all the other document restrictions and the logo I need to remove still isnt selectable. So that leads me to believe that started with something other than .PDF, merged the logo into their pages, and converted to .PDF for faster viewing.
I thought of another way to get rid of the first logo appearing. What Im going to do is remake my own logo and add it to every page in the cracked .PDF. After all my editing is done my mom is going to print my version of the catalog with her work places industrial printer. After that she is going to scan it with her work places industrial scanner. So that we will have a fresh copy of my .PDF with nothing in it from previous versions. My only problem is that I cant figure out how to edit or move pictures in Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.
And then...
I was using Adobe Acrobat .PDF and was reading through the help files to figure out how to add my own picture. Well when I was in the advanced Touch Up Object tool I was able to select the original image that was giving me problems and delete it with no problem at all. Now my question is how do I delete all the images at one time?
Also, if you replace the logo in the original file (you don't mention what format this is) instead of copy/paste over the graphic then you won't see the underlying image display briefly in Acrobat.
