Hello,

My question is in the title.

I have a PDF document that displays very well, but when I try to open it with "Paint," I get this error message: This file is not a valid bitmap file.

Can you help me solve this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello,

    It's normal, Paint has never been able to open PDFs.

    If you want to edit your PDF, you have several software options that allow you to do so, but Paint is not one of them (I use PDFcreator).

    Thank you for this clarification.

    I need to be able to modify this document.
    Is there a workaround? (software,...)

    Thank you in advance.

    Is PDF Creator free and easy to use?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    It works with Adobe Reader 9.5.

    Best regards.

      Adobe Reader allows you to read your PDFs but not modify them. Paint, on the other hand, can neither read nor modify a PDF.
