Need Help Please!

Postby JimG » Fri Jan 01, 2016 4:54 am

I am trying to edit a business card for my company by simply changing the name, phone number and email address and I just can't figure out how to do it.
Can someone please help. I would be happy at this point to pay someone to edit it for me. If I can simply upload the file and have it edited and sent back that would be most appreciated. I have literally spent hours trying to get this done and just can't take it anymore.

I would like to have the name changed to Jack Guillory, the email to [email protected] and the phone to 910-689-5983, using the same existing font.

Please help!
Thank you,

That's kinda tough.

The font used is not embedded into the pdf, so text would need to be copied letter by letter... and not all the letters are available.

If you have the font on a machine, you could pm the file (or a link to it) and that would probably help a great amount. Even the name of the font might be good enough to get rolling.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Thanks Tyler! I'll have to see if I can come up with more information. I don't think I have this on my machine.

As far as I can tell, all the text are paths, so they can't be changed back to text (and edited). But you could easily use Inskcape to add new text, using any font that looks close to the original.

Font looks a bit like Klavika (italicised).

Not the same font, but close enough for horseshoes.
