PDF file editing using LabVIEW

[piZviZ]

I am having pdf file report which got generated from Fluke meter. I want to change date in that report. Is it possible to do it using LabVIEW?

Can I use Adobe Active X for this ?

Note - I don't have any idea of how pdf is generated from Fluke meter software

Probably you should invest in the full version of Adobe Acrobat.  You do realize that if this data has anything to do with a shipping product, this kind of tampering may be considered fraud?  I've seen people go to jail for this kind of thing, FYI.  I've seen government contracts pulled for this kind of thing, too.

No, It's not related with shipping product or illegal thing. Can you tell me how it is possible?

Well, you could buy the full version of Adobe Acrobat, as I had earlier mentioned.  You could also see if there is a way to get the instrument to output the data in a format you can more easily manipulate.

If you don't consider to pay $15 per month for Adobe Acrobat DC, there are some alternative for the lower price. For example, PDF editor by PDFfiller costs for $6 a month with free trial: https://edit-pdf.pdffiller.com/ PhatomPDF by Foxit starts from $8 a month and it's a desktop software, a free trial is also provided

The PDF specification is open.

So download it, and read through the 1200 pages. Then you will know how to change it!
