About editing Adobe PDF documents
Adobe Reader lets you open and view Adobe PDF documents. To perform editing tasks
such as adding bookmarks, links, and headers or footers, you must use Adobe Acrobat.
However, you can edit and view PDF documents in the following ways:
● Copy and paste text and images from a PDF document to another application. Use the
Select tool to select text, tables, or images, and then copy the selection. (See Copying text,
tables, and images.)
Note: Secure PDF documents do not permit copying and pasting of page content.
● Open and view file attachments. Creators of PDF documents can use Adobe Acrobat 7.0
to attach documents to a PDF document, which is sometimes called an eEnvelope. You
can open these document attachments in Adobe Reader. (See About file attachments.)
● Open and view digital media. If you have the appropriate hardware and software, you can
play movies and sound clips that are embedded in a PDF document. (See Playing movies
and sound clips.)
