1. Re: Can SDK be used to edit PDF data?
BarlaeDC Nov 23, 2011 1:35 AM (in response to MehulJSheth)HI,
The Acrobat SDK can be used to edit the content of a PDF file and you can edit the text and style of the content. This is also true of the PDF Library SDK, although the PDF Library SDK does not require Acrobat to be installed in order to function.
Please note that editing the content may change the layout and format of the PDF, depending on the content editing that you are planning.
Hope this helps

2. Re: Can SDK be used to edit PDF data?
MehulJSheth Nov 23, 2011 1:54 AM (in response to BarlaeDC)Hi,
Thanks for the reply. As PDF Library SDK is not available for trial version and as you said editing may change the formatiing which i cannot lose. So is there any other way by which i can read PDF text along with format and structure, modify text and create new pdf with modified structure but with same layout, formatting as to that of the source doc. Any API that can help me in this? Also it would be good if those APIs are available for trial version so that i can check it once.
Thanks,
Mehul

If you go to here http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/API_References/Acrobat_API_Ref erence/overview.html.
This is the full documentation for Acrobat ( And most of the PDF library ) and therefore you can investigate the documentation to see if it does as you would require.
using the PDF Edit API calls you should be able to extract all the text, change it, and save it to the same PDF or a new PDF.
Hope this helps
