Dance with the devil and the TouchUp Text tool By Carl Young February 9, 2007 by Carl Young I’m not a big fan of the Touchup Text tool, even though in this article I am going to explain how to use it to modify text. I dislike the tool so much I always tell students in my Acrobat classes that using the Text Touchup tool is the devil’s work.
Why am I so hard on a feature of Acrobat that so many people like? Consider these points: • Once you have modified the text of a PDF with the Text Touchup Tool, you have broken the connection between the PDF and source file it was created from. Breaking this link eliminates one of PDF’s big benefits--the file fidelity between the source document and the PDF. • Once you damage the link between the source and the PDF, you have to decide which one is the official version of the document.
Is it the modified PDF? The source file?
And if you want both for archiving purposes, you have to remember to go back to the source document and duplicate the change you made in the PDF. Or you can give into temptation and skip fixing the source document and archive both the modified PDF and the original source document and hope no one notices the two are different.

• I’m basically a lazy guy, so I don’t like having to do things twice. In my opinion, if you need to make a change it is much better to go back to the source document, make the change and then generate a new PDF that reflects the changes.
Then you only have to make the change once, and the source document and the PDF are in sync. You don’t have to edit the PDF and worry about making the same change later in the source document. Avoiding the TouchUp Text Tool in this case is a virtue. • Most people are disappointed with the results of the TouchUp Text tool.

You can’t reflow text in a PDF (except temporarily through the View > Reflow command, and when converting for display on handheld devices), so any changes you make with the tool are limited to a few characters and words. It’s like a pact with the devil. You may get the changes you want, but you may get more than you bargained for and end up disappointed in the overall result.

• The TouchUp Text tool can be a temptation to be dishonest. Unlike the smudgy look whiteout applied to paper creates, under the right circumstances you can change a PDF in a way that is not apparent to the reader. In fact, that is usually what you want, although for legitimate purposes, I am sure. Now that I’ve delivered my little sermon, let’s tiptoe around Hades and see how you can modify the on-screen text in a PDF with the potentially dangerous TouchUp Text tool. When to use the TouchUp Text tool In my opinion, you should use the TouchUp Text tool only in these limited circumstances: • You need to fix a typo on deadline, and don’t have time, or access to the source file to fix the problem there and to generate a new PDF.
