LCE Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 hello fella, Stop being so bloody impatient, someone will get to you, just wait your turn! What software are you using to edit the pdf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritch7 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 im using mechanical 08 (inventor) and im just trying to delete some lines, but is their such thing as an eraser option for rubbing out part of an image, the only way i can see atm is covering the lines with a block and fill it white, but thats kids stuff, there must be a way guys! thanks Leigh and Leesutto for your input. ps. haven't got photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCE Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 So you want to edit a pdf in a CAD package? good luck. If you are stuck just with CAD then what you suggested is probably your best option. EDIT: Or alternatively, do what should be done, and tell the monkey that gave you a pdf that you need the CAD file...and then slap him.

I don't use it ever so not sure if it will work on the image though. good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Ritch, I do that kinda thing from time to time with a PDF, by using the pencil tool set to white, or line tool for straight lines, and a text box tool with a white backround and no border to block out areas of a page like a wipeout, for small edits, and for larger ones it seems easier to save the pdf as a JPG and edit it in paint..

jaylo23 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 When i use to have to modify pdf's (which is a realllllyyyy bad practice by the way) i just converted it to an tiff image and imported it to cad as an raster image. At that point you can erase, add, modify, etc. all you want to the pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
