I scanned a magazine recipe as an image in pdf format. Is there a way that I can write a rough note on that image and save the image with my note?

Thanks,

Mark

Sorry, don't get it. If I have an image (not OCR) file 'xxxx.pdf' and wish to ADD a text notation on the image document, you're saying to click on the filename within explorer and...????

Don't be sorry!
I was thinking of something else when I gave you wrong info.
I thought you wanted to change from a pdf file to something else.:o

nitro pdf reader is supposed to do it for free. I downloaded but haven't installed yet. It got some good write-ups on ghacks or one of the other review sites like download.com.

Do you have Adobe acrobat, or just the reader?

The reader. However if there's a way to add the text using the $ version I might be able to do so with Nitro pdf's beta that I recently downloaded?

OTOH, since what I have is an image, is there a way to convert the pdf to an open image extension and then use paint or similar software to write on the image?

Your guess is as good as mine. I just noticed a write-up for Nitro. Haven't even installed yet. My PDF needs are modest. Mostly I use a PDF print driver just to save online receipts as PDF. In fact for PDF reader I use an old 2.x version of FoxIt since it's smaller and loads faster.

I use to have an old program called WinFax Pro that you could scan and make changes to. It could scan and fax and convert the files to or am I thinking of something else?

There's several ways to scan .. fix .. and convert back to pdf or something else ..
but most of these methods will loose the original quality and are unnecessary.
The free Foxit reader sounds like what markg2 needs.

The free Pdfsam might also a handy utility to have .. It can split or merge multipul page pdfs.

Bingo! Nitro_pdf has a type text tool. I just tried it on the image and my typed text saved (worked).

Both Nitro and Foxit would not save a rotated image but Pdfsam does, albeit in a cumbersome way.

Thanks,

Mark
