    Don't know if this is the right place but here goes!!

    I need to edit some pdf files which were imported from another program (Family Tree Maker).

    At the moment,all I want to do is delete some unwanted info which the FTM automatically prduces-deleting a few words to create a blank side when two side printing & to delete a couple of words from a "Contents" page,automatically generated by the FTM.
    It's only a tidy up process really.

    I've got a pdf Editor (CAD-KAS PDF Editor 2.2 Pro) and read on Adobe.

    Problem: Whenever I delete,all or part, of a page, Adobe says:

    "There was an error processing a page. There is a problem reading this document (109)"

    I cannot read the subsequent modified document as a result.

    Can anyone tell me what,in my ignorance,I'm doing wrong or what I should be doing,please.

    Thanks

    try saving a brand new copy of the PDF as something else on the ROOT of your hard drive (C:\), you're troubleshooting two types of possible errors there.

    error 1: possible file location error (due to weird folder names or curruption)

    error 2: the file may not be compatible with your PDF editor, because you're resaving it will convert it to ITS mode.



    if all fails try downloading Nitro PDF Professional free 30-day trial version download

    :D Thanks Dwarfer. I'm not sure that I understand the technicalities but,since posting, I've found that if I delete the original "Save As",& create a new one by exporting to Adobe, it will then save to Adobe pdf. That means I can ignore the editor.
    To do my page blanking, I just create one just containing a full stop.
    To do my editing I copy the "Contents" page to a blank text page, which I can then edit on FTM & then discard the original FTM "Contents" page.

    A bit clumsy but, if it gives me what I want,what the hell!
