I think my last question got lost in the flood of Apple WnP.

Can anybody tell me how to reinstall an Apple update that I have already installed?

Also, can somebody recommend a Mac program that would allow me to edit a PFD? I was able to open the PDF I want to edit with GIMP, but I really wasn't able to find a way to manipulate the parts of the document that were already there (maybe I just need to play with it more?).

If you can find the receipt for it in /Library/Receipts, deleting that receipt should allow you to reinstall the update.

I don't know of any way to manipulate the contents of a PDF except owning a full copy of Adobe Acrobat.

Rob, do I have to delete the .pkg or the .bom, or both? Or maybe I can jusr run the .pgks again?

Yeah, I was afraid of that. And hell, this document probably wasn't even created in Acrobat, but in something else and converted to PDF.

It's a D&D character sheet that I like more than any others I've used, but it still needs modifications to be ideal. I just want to cut out some stuff, and move some of the bits around the page to better suit my needs.

Maybe trying to do this in an image manip program like GIMP really is the answer.

I've got the full version of Acrobat on my machine if you want to do it on mine at some point.
