editing adobe reader/pdf's doc's and auto CAD drawings

[what..the?]

I have some documents which are just writing in a pdf formart opened in adobe reader which when I highlight I can not delete of make changes ( i can't see that it says anywhere read only)

Also I have some Auto CAD drawings in pdf format which has the company details at the bottom of each drawing I have paid for these drawings but want to use the drawings without further connections to the previous people, because I want unbiased quotes. It lets me see the different layers within the document, the layer the company detail is on also contains alot of other drawing I need to keep. If I highlight the area it wont let the delete it. I would just print and trim but I need detailed specs to email which would be lost by rescanning.

Please help, thanks in advance

The clue is in the name "Adobe Reader", you can read with it but not edit.
To edit you need a PDF editor such as http://www.adobe.com/...ro.html?promoid=DJDRT

the whole point about pdf's is that they can't be altered once PDF'ed.

so is there anyway to un pdf the file fomat to another file type that can be edited?

No it ain't. PDFs can be edited as long as the creator didn't set a password to prevent changes.

As I said, you need a pdf editor.

Adobe Acrobat is the original, Foxit also do one. But Adobe are very strict on licensing for editors, so I doubt you'll find a free one.

I gave you a link to the Adobe one. Here's a link to the Foxit one.

thanks I have used zamzar.com for free to convert to jpeg and then moved it into paperport programme which I know well and deleted the info I wanted jobs a gooden and the images are still zoomable for the detail as its jpeg as apposed to word document, this will be needed for the CAD drawings.

Thanks for your help
