How do you open a .pdf file in pages? I received new letterhead and I would like to be able to use it. I cannot open the .pdf file to make changes or add text. Any suggestions?
Interesting question, since the question shows a problem in documentation.
The idea behind Adobe PostScript and Adobe PDF is to create a page description that is INDEPENDENT of the authoring application and the font software used in the authoring application.
The authoring application writes its internal format into the external format of a page description and the internal format is lost - the page description is not editable.
There are two applications that can open PDF, Adobe Illustrator whose internal format was the source of the PDF format, and Adobe Acrobat editions other than the free Reader.
However, editing the PDF does not work well even for very, very limited changes and for major changes editing does not work at all.
PDF was billed as 'Paper without the chase' when it was introduced in 1993. It is intended as a passive container format for presentation information.
