Re: PDF Problem

[Sheila Carlisle <scarlisle -at- axialinfo -dot- com>]

Christine, if you've been editing PDFs in TextPad, saving the files 
again, and ending up with undamaged PDFs that open properly then you've 
been amazingly lucky. PDFs have a checksum that means editing usually 
results in a damaged-beyond-repair file. Acrobat 5 may have changed this 
checksum calculation so that the path editing you've been doing is no 
longer possible.

You might be able to find a link-editing tool on the PlanetPDF or 
PDFzone sites http://www.planetpdf.com or http://www.pdfzone.com

If you're editing a doc set and have to adjust links after the PDFs are 
made, have you considered changing your authoring tool to something like 
Adobe FrameMaker? FM and Acrobat are exceptionally well integrated and 
FM can make/manage hyperlinks and cross-references very reliably.
