Editing PDFs
Last updated 9/30/2011
Start an image editor using the TouchUp Object tool
By default, the TouchUp Object tool starts Adobe Photoshop® (if installed) to edit images and objects. To use a
different editing application, specify the application in the TouchUp preferences. In the Preferences dialog box under
Categories, select TouchUp, click Image Editor (for bitmap images) or Page/Object Editor (for vector images), and
select the application on your hard drive.
1 Using the TouchUp Object tool, select the image or object or Shift-click to select multiple images or objects. If you
change the object selection, the editing session terminates.
To edit all the images and objects on the page, right-click the page, and choose Edit Page.
2 Right-click the selection, and choose Edit Image or Edit Object. (The available command depends on what is
selected.)
Note: If the image can’t open in Adobe Photoshop, verify that Photoshop is configured correctly. If a message asks whether
to convert to ICC profiles, choose Don’t Convert. If the image window displays a checkerboard pattern when it opens, the
image data could not be read.
3 Make the desired changes in the external editing application.
4 If you are working in Photoshop, flatten the image.
If you change the dimensions of the image in Photoshop, the image may not align correctly in the PDF. Also,
transparency information is preserved only for masks that are specified as index values in an indexed color space.
Image masks are not supported. If you change image modes while editing the image, you may lose valuable
information that can be applied only in the original mode.
5 In the editing application, choose File > Save. The object is automatically updated and displayed in the PDF when
you bring Acrobat to the foreground.
Important: For Photoshop, if the image is in a format supported by Photoshop 6.0 or later, your edited image is saved
back into the PDF. However, if the image is in an unsupported format, Photoshop handles the image as a generic PDF
image, and the edited image is saved to disk instead of back into the PDF.
Setting up a presentation
Defining initial view as Full Screen mode
Full Screen mode is a property you can set for PDFs used for presentations. In Full Screen mode, PDF pages fill the
entire screen, and the Acrobat menu bar, toolbar, and window controls are hidden. You can also set other opening
views, so that your documents or collections of documents open to a consistent view. In either case, you can add page
transitions to enhance the visual effect as the viewer pages through the document.
To control how you navigate a PDF (for example, advancing pages automatically), use the options in the Full Screen
panel of the Preferences dialog box. These preferences are specific to a system—not a PDF document—and affect all
PDFs that you open on that system. Therefore, if you set up your presentation on a system you control, you can control
these preferences.
