Razic Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hey guys I was wondering if there was anyone a bit more computer savy willing to help me out, I wanna edit the PDF for the emperor's children transfer sheet from BOLS to that the decals have a purple background, thus making them easier to cut out on white decal paper. Is there an easy way to do this? http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2007/01/emperors-children-pre-heresy-logo-sheet.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285524-anyone-know-how-to-edit-a-pdf-re-bols-custom-transfers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 PDFs aren’t intended to be editable — they’re supposed to be the final product. However, it’s not that hard to add a purple background if you have the right tools. For example, you can open PDF files in Photoshop, which will let you discover that the one you’re talking about consists of the emblems on a layer with a transparent background. All you then need to do is add a fill layer of your desired colour behind it.

averykess Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I believe I used Adobe Illustrator to edit some of the decals found here on BnC. I needed black ravens for my Raven Guard veterans.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Both of those methods work. Alternatively, open up the .pdf, copy the image out (very likely, it is an element on it's own), drop into your favoured image manipulation program, and create a new sheet.

Razic Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks guys, I managed to stumble my way through adobe illustrator to get a decent enough purple colour behind the decal images Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285524-anyone-know-how-to-edit-a-pdf-re-bols-custom-transfers/#findComment-3568551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Alternatively, open up the .pdf, copy the image out (very likely, it is an element on it's own)With more complicated PDFs than this one, File Juicer can be a lifesaver for this.
