Let me think this through. You sent a Word file (likely the one attached here) and the publisher returned a fully laid out, with graphs, draft to you as a pdf.<br /><br />Now you need the text edited. We are sort of out of order here as<br />ideally, you would have written the text, had it fully edited in Word, and then sendtit to the publisher for layout.Then the text would only need a final proofreading.<br /><br />My guess is that the publisher had a designer convert your Word file to the pdf layout by first using Microsoft Publisher or In-Design, which are two programs specifically designed to layout out texts and graphics. I don't have either program nor am I proficient in either one, so making the Word file "look" like the Publish/In-design file is duplicating the layout work and would require a lot more time, and, in my opinion, is not necessary.<br /><br />Today, I installed Acrobat Reader Pro DC. This program allows me to edit within your pdf just like in Word. I would, of course, track the changes red. <br /><br />My concern here is about several issues:<br /><br />1. Do you have Acrobat Reader?&nbsp;I need to check if regular Acrobat Reader can be used to review a document edited in Pro DC. I don't think so. You would likely need Pro DC as well, and&nbsp;you can get a free 30 day trial version.<br />2. Can you ask your publisher what software was used to make the pdf?<br />3. Did the publisher use the Word file attached here? If so, then I could edit it, you could more easily review the edits, but then the publisher would have to lay out the text again.<br />5. Can you ask the publisher about our situation here (i.e., need to edit the file)? Maybe her or she has dealt with this situation before and might&nbsp;have good advice.<br /><br />I would prefer to edit the file you attached here, which would make your review and accepting/rejecting easily. But the tradeoff is the file would have to be converted again.<br /><br />Please contact the publisher and see if he/she can help us decide on the best plan.<br /><br />
