I have a pdf document i am trying to edit. I seem to be able to edit most of it in Adobe Acrobat standard version (even though this is time consuming), but there is a chart in the document with French labels that I cannot edit. Is there any software out there that I can use that will enable me to translate the words, i.e. edit the object. Adobe Acrobat will only let me move it around.

Best wishes of success

Kind regards

It depends on how the PDF file was created, though. If the pages appear as flat images (no clickable text) in Illustrator, then what I ... See more
