Acrobat puts the power in your hands to modify content directly within the PDF or use your favorite program to update an existing image. Edit text or add images with the confidence that your document format will remain consistent.
Edit images in your PDF
Using the Tools > Edit PDF panel, you can modify any image within your PDF document. Acrobat provides you multiple ways to control your content. You can right-click on an image or multimedia to use the Edit PDF tools to directly control rotation, alignment, cropping, or other properties. Acrobat even enables you to edit content directly using image editing software, like Photoshop.

Acrobat’s image editing tools provide solutions for editing and arranging graphics within your PDF documents using familiar tools that are available in other document-editing programs.
