TIP: Editing PDF documents with hyperlinks
A customer recently asked me "I tried editing a sentence in a PDF document which had a hyperlink. I used the TouchUp Text tool to delete the sentence. However, I was left with a blue line which I could not eliminate. I used every tool on the drop down menu incl the Link tool but to no avail. Can you tell me what I can do?"
And my answer: "Links are “on top” of the PDF page, and often the original application will generate the text as well as a link (in your case a blue line) the PDF document. You’ll need to use the TouchUp Object Tool to delete the line as it is an object vs. text. The TouchUp Object tool is in the Advanced Editing toolbar (Acrobat 8 Professional or Acrobat 9 Pro/Pro Extended)
Adobe MAX: European Edition
If you missed Adobe MAX in San Francisco, we'll all be at Adobe MAX in Milan next week. I will be repeating my hands-on lab entitled "I Didn't Know Acrobat Could Do That!" which will cover Flash integration in Acrobat 9, creating PDF Portfolios, and more. Hope to see you there.

"Thermo" -- Flash Catalyst
Last week at Adobe MAX in San Francisco, I found an hour to sit in a session that had nothing to do with Acrobat or PDF. This was on Flash Catalyst (code named "Thermo"). All I can say is "WOW". This is really cool technology. It allows designers to design (without writing code) and coders to get comps from a designer that already have the code behind it!
If you get a chance - take a look at the information on Adobe Labs and sign up to get notified when the public beta is available.
