I want to edit .pdf documents. It seems to be a real hassle. I can't even get a straight answer as to whether it is possible or not.

Generally I get the impression it all depends upon what the document was created from. So I'd like to know what ideally they would be created from? Some Adobe product I suppose. Seems to make sense. That way you'd get something you could always modify in the future.

As to the editing even Yahoo answers couldn't get a definitive answer. They seem to be saying Acrobat and they seem to be saying Reader and they seem to be saying 'you can't do it'.

What is the story?

I would like to know, if someone will be kind enough to tell me, these things, to clear up my confusion:

1. What do I need to edit .pdf documents (assuming they can be edited) ?

2. What should ideally create .pdf documents with?

3. What do I create .pdf documents with in the non-ideal situation (i.e. just making an uneditable .pdf from anything at all) ?

regards,

ab
