I had cause yesterday to strip a footer out of a document that the source file was no longer available for. Acrobat had captured the footer as part of the main body text and when I deleted letters, the body text would move with it. Not great!
By chance I discovered that one could select the text and choose the colour 'none' which suited my purposes just fine. Not a great solution but hey... I think most users reading technical articles here just want to get out of a hole!

"Breaking this link eliminates one of PDF’s big benefits -- the file fidelity between the source document and the PDF."
When I found out I could edit the text in PDFs, I was alarmed for this very reason. I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't necessarily all ga-ga over this tool.
When I tried to use the TouchUp Text Tool it didn´t work but said something like: "the copy in the selected area is not horizontal and is not vertical either." It looked as if the different copy parts were grouped together, even so they where not grouped in the original QuarkXPress-Document. What can I do? I need to find a solution for someone to change the date regularly on my Layouts.
