Hello everyone, I was unsure where to put this scroll so I hope this is alright. My question is about PDFs and Adobe. I want to create a few PDF's for my players about our campaign and different locals and such but I am not very experienced with working with PDFs. I figured out how to turn a word document into a PDF and have that working but I am unsure how to actual edit the PDF afterwards to add a table of contents such is on many of the PDFs I have downloaded. I don't know if I need another program or if I am just missing it somewhere. Right now I have Adobe Reader and have used both their online site and a program called Cute PDF to turn Word Documents to PDFs. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for your time.

I don't think there is any freeware that allows editing of pdfs -- part of the point of pdfs is that the average person can't alter them.

If you have a method of turning Word docs into pdfs, I say just keep running with that. It's not ideal, but it's cheaper than buying the software to do it.

Wooly is right. The better way is work with docs and, in the end make the conversion into pdfs.

You need Adobe Professional, you can get it here or you could try this, don't know if it works or not.

Foxit http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php . It is a nifty little sweet I have not tried their creation tools for pdfs but i use their viewer and its great!! Opens things so much faster and its not bloated I'd assume there PDF creator might help you.
