Edit an Adobe InDesign purchase order PDF
A purchase order is a header of addresses and terms over a table of items. Change the items, quantities and delivery details before you issue it, and keep the layout your supplier expects. If it was made in Adobe InDesign, you can edit the PDF itself. Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.

How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs
- • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
- • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
- • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.
Issue revisions, don't overwrite
If a PO was already sent, issue a revised one with a new number or revision mark so both sides know which is current.
Long descriptions wrap
Item descriptions wrap inside their cell and the row grows, pushing the rows below down evenly.
