Editing .PDF's
I was wondering what everyone here edits .PDF files with.
I need to edit a .pdf file but i don't want to edit it like an image in Photoshop.
Any suggestions?

Acrobat Pro is the best solution, though not the cheapest.
It also adds a lot of weight to a files size when editing... If you are using a word processor, such as MS Word, to create your document you are better off editing in there and re-creating the PDF.

Is it possible to turn a .pdf into a word document?
My problem is i have a .pdf file right now and i want to easily be able to remove rows and such from several tables that are on the .pdf.

You can't edit a pdf as such - that's the entire point of the format. But you can fairly easily copy and paste the contents of a PDF into Word - you need to use the Text Select tool I think.

You CAN edit a PDF if you have Acrobat Pro, as I said above. I believe the original main purpose of the Portable Document Format was its portability across platforms.
edit: I haven't tried editing a PDF that I didn't create myself.

I am attempting to edit with the Acrobat Pro trial, very confusing.
I have found a program called PDFEdit which is very easy to use and seems to work well.
Thanks for everyone's help

It was also about security - it was a format you could send to someone that you could guarantee wouldn't be tampered with along the way.
