I have both Infix by Iceni and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and I cannot do something which I thought was very simply: I need to select the whole PDF document because I need to change the fonts (with the orginal font I cannot overwrite). If a go to edit, the option select all is not highlighted. Since the file is over 140 pages long, I cannot go sentence by sentence by sentence to edit the font!!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Sometimes pdfs consist purely of images (faxes or scanned text). Try Abbyy Finereader, it will deliver the text in a Word-file.

TOPIC STARTER | I need to write in the Pdf file | Apr 11, 2006 |
it is a real PDF file and I need to write in it. I have the appropriate software, but I cannot understand how to select the whole file to edit fonts (as in a Word file)

I'm not sure we understand your problem. You cannot write to a PDF file, you cannot change the fonts. See many other discussions here about editing PDF files, or rather not editing.
You can convert the text in a PDF file to a reasonably editable format, e.g. doc and then change the fonts. Is that what you mean?

never have succeeded in changing font in more than one segment at time. PDF as such is not meant for editing, the less so 140 pages of it.
There are softwares which can convert your PDF to Word almost 1:1 (Say, SolidConverter PDF), then you can do all needed in Word and the same software (or just printing to PDF from Word) will create back PDF file.

All I want to do is to select the whole file: for example, if I had to select several pages because I have to copy and paste them somewhere else, I would have the same problem, because when I go to edit, select all is not highlighted.

I too have Adobe Professional, but I still think you cannot change fonts in the PDF file, only in the original file that was created in some other software, eg Quark, InDesign etc. before being converted to a PDF.
Alternatively it may be a security issue. In Professional, have you looked at Document / Security / Display Restrictions and Security ?

This may be relevant for users of the full Acrobat - I only use the reader:
Ctrl+A selects the current page if you are in View-Single Page mode (from the View menu). If you want Ctrl+A to select the whole document, you need to be in View-continuous mode.

TOPIC STARTER | thank you, Oliver | Apr 12, 2006 |
it is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it turns out that when I change the whole document or a page from Futura (the file font) into arial, the numbers in the tables move, and I cannot use the table anymore. My aim was editing the text: I was able to it segment by segment, but I needed a quicker way.
I will figure out some way to do it.
Thank you very much!!
