Hi. Re. editing pdf files, it's worth bearing in mind that the author of the file may not want to have his/her work edited, and therefore has set the file's security to prevent this. Sometimes files are protected to prevent selection/copying of a section, or even printing - more extreme forms of 'protection'. Not suggesting that this is so in your case but, 'it could be', and is worth considering?
