Round-trip Editing
Use the TouchUp Object tool and a designated source program, such as Photoshop, to make image
changes that are returned to the PDF document by following these steps:
1. Select the TouchUp Object tool and then select the image or images you want to edit.
2. Right-click and choose Edit Image from the shortcut menu to open the designated editing program and
displays the image or images.
3. Make the edits; flatten layers if you have made changes to the layer structure.
4. Choose File > Save. The image is saved, closed, and replaced in Acrobat.
There are some other issues to consider when using Photoshop as an image editor. The image
connection only exists as long as the object is selected in Acrobat - do not deselect the object in Acrobat
or you have to start the procedure over. Changing image modes may not be saved automatically; a Save
As dialog box opens to save the image as a separate Photoshop PDF file. If the image looks distorted,
then check the pixel aspect ratio, as Acrobat forces Photoshop to use pixel aspect ratio correction for
previewing. Check your Photoshop configuration if you see a checkerboard instead of the image in
Photoshop.
Exporting Files for Use in a Document-processing Application
Acrobat allows for two export formats that you can use in Word or other document-processing programs.
When the document is open in Acrobat, choose > File Save As to open the Save As dialog box. For export
to a document-processing application, choose either rich text format (RTF), or Word document (DOC)
formats. Click the Settings button on the Save As dialog box to open a set of options(Figure 8.13).
Configure the export settings depending on your intended use of the file:
x Include Comments is selected by default; deselect it if you do not need to use comments in the exported
document.
x Maintain the layout structures in the PDF file if it contains specific features like custom margins,
columns, and so on. The options for DOC export are slightly different than those for RTF export.
x Deselect the image export options if you do not need them in the exported file. If you want to export
images and your file contains both grayscale and color images, choose Determine Automatically from
the Use Colorspace drop-down list.
x The option for generating tags is a default selection - the tags are used in the conversion process and
then discarded. Leave the option selected.
