Thank you for replying. I do have the document in Word. I used word to create the PDF. Am thinking that InDesign is not the application I need to write a technical user manual? Seems that converting a word document to Indesign is also a terrible process? Since I am not making brochurs, creating magazine ads, etc. Shoule I move on to something else? What would you do if you had a page technical manual written in Word that you need to update?
Before trying Adobe I was going to use LateX to do this. Any ideas? If you have a manual in Word form, update it in Word form. Putting it back in InDesign is not too bad if made the right way; especially no font changes.
The word document should just have words. Have the text signed off completely, be sure it's finished. Then bring to InDesign once. Never change the PDF, not even to fix a single typo. Thank you for your help. I think it makes sense to just update the manual in Word and be done with it. Appreciate all the time. Moving on In relation to this topic, I routinely make quick changes to a compiled PDF document.
Meaning, I combine many PDF documents to assemble one complete scientific type report for my clients. So if I have to go back and change a date in the introduction of the document or the address was not , as an example. Or in a proposal, where the client wants a service removed but I have already combined the proposal , the company qualification's, the licenses etc, into the final document, and I delete a couple line items and change the total cost of the estimate so that I do not have to go back and reformat and compile everything again.
It would make sense as I have had nothing but issues with my edits and have been embarrassed more than once when sending the edited version of the document to a client, and then receive a call saying the document makes no sense and I didn't change or include the discussed changes in the revised document.
So my issues exist when changes are made to the PDF edit i originally created, revert back to the original document when sent to the client via email. Has anyone else had issues with editing PDF documents where you had made changes to the document , even basic changes, and also the changes are shown on the document while making them, the changes are not maintained once it is saved or emailed. Any thought or recommendation.? Adobe Support Community.
