Accounting CS enables you to add text, sticky notes, and stamps directly to PDF documents that are attached to AP transactions. You can use this PDF editor even if you do not have other PDF editing applications installed (for example, Adobe Acrobat).
Notes
- If you want to view inserted text, tickmarks, stamps, or other markup in the printed output, be sure to select Document or Markups in the Print Options section of the Print dialog.
- Sticky notes and callouts can be added and viewed on screen, but do not appear in printed output.
- Some menu options are not available (grayed) in the PDF editor for documents that are attached to AP transactions.
- PDF documents that have been scanned contain only image-based content. You can choose Document > OCR pages in the editor and use the text tools to modify the image as needed.
In the Actions > Enter Payables > Rapid tab, locate the transaction with the PDF attached to it, and double-click the icon in the column.
Custom stamps
You can choose a stamp from the default collection provided with the PDF editor, or you can use the Stamp Palette dialog to create new palettes of stamp images inserted from various sources.
To open the Stamp Palette dialog, choose Tools > Comment and Markup Tools > Show Stamps Palette, or choose Show Stamps Palette from the pull-down menu for the Stamp tool button.
Note: To add a new palette, click the button on the toolbar. You can create and save multiple palettes, and each palette may consist of multiple stamps.
You can add custom images to the Stamps Palette using any of the following methods.
- Click the button to specify a file name and file type (GIF, JPG, BMP, ICO, PCX, and more.) from the Open dialog.
- Click the button to select a PDF source file and page number and to specify a name for the stamp.
- Click the button to insert an image from the system clipboard.
Typewriter tool
- To enter text in a selected area of the document window, click the Typewriter button on the PDF editor toolbar, and then click the location in the document to add the text.
- To format the text, highlight it, right-click, choose Text Formatting, and then choose the desired format (bold, italic, superscript, and so forth). You can also cut, copy, and paste text within the PDF.
Note: If the Show/Hide Text Formatting Toolbar option is toggled on from the right-click context menu, PDF editor displays the Properties toolbar when you click the Typewriter button.
- To modify the general information and appearance of the selected text, use the Properties toolbar or choose Properties from the right-click context menu.
Other features
- Bookmarks and attachments. You can choose to display the Bookmarks, Attachments, and Pages tabs in a frame to the left of the main PDF editor window. To display these tabbed pages, click the Options button in the bottom-left corner of the PDF editor window, choose View, and then choose the tabs to include.
- Flatten comments. Choose Comments > Flatten Comments to enable you to merge selected edits/annotations into the PDF permanently.
Stamps that are "flattened" into the PDF are permanent and cannot be deleted.
