Dear all,<br><br>Thanks for your advices. I will be meeting today with my publisher again, and I'm carrying with me a host of PDFs with your suggestions.<br>In the end, I did as William suggested: export all the pages into EPS and placed them in a INDD file.... let's wait to see what they say now.<br>

The problem persists, though. I think my publisher is trying to open the PDF in Adobe Illustrator, in order to do something with the text block (don't know why!). But when he tries to do that, AI reports that KP-etc. fonts are not available. And they aren't available to the OS (and to AI) since they are LaTeX fonts only.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>

If they want to do something other than edit text, they can open your .pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional, save out the pages which they wish to change as .eps files, then place (not open) those .eps files in Adobe Illustrator (or better still Adobe InDesign) and add whatever additional elements need to be added (they'll need to set up the page properly to match trim, bleed &c.) --- of course if the text needs to be edited, then they'll need for you to do that as previous respondents have noted.<br>
<br>
Or they could purchase Enfocus PitStop and use it for any such .pdf editing.<br>
<br>
Adobe Illustrator is _not_ a general purpose .pdf editor and has to translate all elements of a .pdf into its own internal format which can result in marked changes in appearance or text formatting and then creates the need to proof the edited file character for character, line for line, graphic for graphic.<br>
