Editing in Photoshop and Illustrator from within Acrobat is a modal feature. If you change
the object selection, the editing session is terminated. Any subsequent changes in the
external editor (after the session is terminated), even if saved, are not placed into the PDF
file by Acrobat. For this reason, if a session is terminated, you should start a new session
before continuing to make changes to the object. Or you can use this as a means to
extract graphic objects from PDF files for use in creating new PDF files.

Make the desired changes, and then flatten the image (if you are working in
Photoshop). You must flatten the image to be able to save it in PDF Photoshop format.
If you change the dimensions of the image in Photoshop, the image returns to its place in
the PDF document, but the alignment may be different than before it was edited. Also,
transparency information is preserved only for masks specified as index values in an
indexed color space. Image masks are not supported. Last, if you change image modes
while editing the image, you may lose valuable information that can only be applied in the
original mode.

Choose File > Save, and the graphic object is automatically updated and displayed in
the PDF document. If you choose Save As, choose Photoshop PDF as the file type. The
object is saved as a new file, and Acrobat won’t automatically incorporate the changed
object into the PDF file.
Setting the TouchUp preferences
The TouchUp preferences define the default applications used as the image and object
editors when art and graphics are selected using the tool.
To set the TouchUp preferences:
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Select Touch Up in the left pane of the Preferences
dialog box.
2
Select Choose Image Editor, and browse to choose an image editor other than the
default.
3
Select Choose Page/Object Editor, and browse to choose a page or object editor other
than the default.

Click OK.
Incorporating PDF documents in documents with OLE
support
You can incorporate PDF documents into any container document with Object Linking
and Embedding (OLE) support and later edit the PDF documents in Acrobat.
To incorporate PDF documents into an application with OLE support:
Do one of the following:
•
Choose the OLE container application’s Insert Object command to insert the document
directly into the container application.
•
In Acrobat, choose Edit > Copy File to Clipboard to copy the current document to the
clipboard, and then choose the Paste Special command in the container application.
