Page 19: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting I see no controls in my PDF viewer. Check Document Settings. You may have specified Hide Menu Bar, Hide Toolbar or Hide Window Controls. I cannot edit the PDF file. If the source file was created by an imaging application, the PDF may not be editable. - Page 20 I see lines, sometimes long and diagonal when I edit the PDF text. You may see this if you have text watermarks on the page. The line is the editing cursor for the watermark text. PDF creation fails. You must have a print-enabled application on your system that can handle the source file and that is associated with it.
