Editing a PDF

DEVONthink Scenarios
1

I’m editing a club newsletter and the next issue needs to have a coupon published for people to send in to make reservations for an event. I’m going to use last year’s coupon, however, the person who has the original electronic copy of last year’s event is away until September (long past the publication date) so I figured I’d just scan last year’s coupon and copy it into the newsletter (using Pages). The trouble is, I need to change the price from $24.00 to $25.00. Try as I might I don’t seem to be able to add a text box using DTPO or Preview (I select “text” in Preview but that doesn’t work) - something that I can simply overlay the old price (see attached). Is there some method of doing this that I’m missing?

Thanks!

Neither DEVONthink nor Preview support this, possible solutions are Adobe Acrobat, the original document or (as you’ve scanned the document) every image editor (e.g. Photoshop or GraphicConverter).

Tod, check out a little application that’s a free beta, FormulatePro. It will open a PDF and allow overlays of shapes, text annotations and free-form line, e.g. signature.

As you have a ModBook, it will let you create an overlay over the old price information and enter the new price, all with digital pen. The revised file will be saved in a proprietary format but can be exported again as PDF.
