Editing PDF on iPad
NoWireHangers
03-08-2012
Hi all,

I have a PDF of my CV that I need to edit. Is there an app on the iPad that will allow me to do this?

I've tried converting it to word but it doesnt come out right. Any suggestions?

Thanks muchly

editing PDFs is not easy. they are not meant to be edited.

on the pc i have the full adobe acrobat suite and it's still not easy. you use something called the text modification tool or similar and it's really only suitable for correcting typos and the like. not actually changing text.

have no idea if something is available for the iPad.

I would doubt that editing a PDF on an iPad is possible. It is far easier to go back to the original document the PDF was created from and then convert the edited text to PDF. I am assuming that as it is your own CV that you have the original version somewhere?

With something like Pages on the iPad you can certainly edit Word documents fairly easily if they are not overly complex. Not sure though if the iPad version of Pages can save as PDF.

You could upload it into Google Docs. This will convert it and allow editing. You can then re-export the document in PDF format if you want to.
whoever,hey

PDFs aren't meant for editing stuff.
iPads aren't meant for editing stuff.

Put these together kind of makes it a pain in the arse.
