Delete Clip deletes the objects that are clipping the selected objects. For example, if
you scale text and if the resulting characters are clipped, selecting this option shows
you the entire characters.

Edit Image, Object, Objects, Page changes according to what is currently selected
(image, object, objects, page). Page is shown if nothing is selected on the page.
Important:
To be able to save an edited graphic object directly back into the PDF
document, you must have Adobe Photoshop (version 5.0 or later) or Adobe Illustrator
(version 7.0 or later) installed on your system. With Photoshop 5.0 or 5.5, you must also
have the PDFFormat Photoshop plug-in installed in the Photoshop plugins folder on your
hard drive, otherwise a graphic object edited using Photoshop will be saved to disk instead
of back into the PDF document. With Acrobat 5.0, if the graphic image is in a format
supported by Photoshop 6.0, your edited image will be saved back into the PDF document
(the required plug-ins are installed automatically). However, if the graphic image is in an
unsupported format, Photoshop 6.0 handles the image as a generic PDF image and the
edited image is saved to disk instead of back into the PDF document. Illustrator does not
require a special plug-in to work with Acrobat.
To move a graphic object in a PDF document:
1
Open the PDF document to the page where the graphic object or text block is located.
2
Select the touchup object tool
.
3
Select the object, and drag it to the desired location. Release the mouse button to place
the image.
If you mistakenly place the object and want to move it back to its original position, there is
only one level of Undo. Otherwise you have to manually reposition the image, which only
provides an approximation of the original placement. For this reason, it is recommended
that you save a backup of the PDF document before you begin editing.
Note:
When Photoshop 5.0 is launched using the touchup object tool, editing an image is
limited to a single layer. In this situation, Photoshop 5.0 also does not convert the ICC
profile when you change viewing modes. To ensure the display of the correct colors for the
image after changing the viewing mode, choose Image > Mode > Profile, and then change
the mode (that is, Lab Color to RGB.1).
To edit a graphic object inside a PDF document:
1
Open the PDF document to the page where the image is located.
2
Select the touchup object tool
.
3
Select the object, and then choose an option from the context menu. The external
editing application is launched.
If your graphic object cannot be opened in Adobe Photoshop, verify that Photoshop is
configured correctly. (See
“Managing Acrobat plug-ins” on page 212
.) If you receive a
message asking whether to convert to ICC profiles, choose “Don’t Convert.” If the image
window displays a checkerboard pattern when it opens, the image data could not be read.
