I have a scanned image that I need to edit. Is it possible? It would save me
a lot of time. The orignal was a pdf file that I used on another project.I
have it in pdf and word.But it is a scanned image in both. I need to change a
little of the info. I dont want to retype it for a few minor changes.

The only way you can edit a .pdf file is if you have the full version of
Acrobat or some other third party software that will convert it to Word.

Thank you Carol. I have downloaded a couple of programs on a trial status
but the conversion didn't work.

You can only edit graphics with a graphics editor. You may be able to
produce an editable text version of the document with OCR software
(Finereader is arguably the best) but it will be a lot of work to get an
*exact* copy.
