Unfortunately, it’s the latter– edits were made inside the PDF file, much to my dismay.
Thank for you the tip about using the Story Editor, David.
Update: I was finally able to import copy of the formatted text from the edit PDF into a .Doc file, and was able to successfully place the text into the document. Did my level best to import the text with style mapping that mirrors the paragraph styles I defined prior to this mess, and now have to go through the entire text again and left indent paragraphs, in addition to myriad other corrections–a hard lesson learned about communication.
Not to derail this post topic too far, is there a way to streamline changing paragraph styles from the text being placed, to the ones I’ve pre-defined? Otherwise, it appears I will have to manually change each section. The obstacle is the way.
PS. Thank you for all the excellent work you are doing for the world of InDesign, David! I’ve learned a lot from watching many of your videos on Lynda.com, along with those of Ann Marie Concepcion, and Nigel French. Hats off to you!
