Editng PDF in PS CS4?

I have a grayscale scan in PDF format that needs a bit of adjustment to the contrast & brightness.

I open the PDF in PS and see that it treats each page as a separate file. When I go to save the file, I see I have to do 100 separate saves.
Is there a way to save the file in its entirety (other than Print > Save As PDF). I mean, I’d like to save the entire file as I edit it to protect against power outages, etc.

Also, I want to make the same brightness and contrast changes (identical values) to all the pages. How can I automate this such that I can do it once for the whole file (or at least make a simple key press automation for each page)?

Thanks.

Mike, you should not have a problem. I have a programme named ‘PDF-XChange Version 4’ and make forms for my office on it. Reading your question, I tried it and I can play with it and edit it which ever way I want to, using PS (CS5).
If I understand you right, you would like to know how to safe in PDF?

Or you can open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, and Export all the images as TIFF, then batch ’em in Photoshop.

That is File menu -> Export -> Image -> (then choose JPEG…TIFF)
It exports them all at once.

THEN you can batch in Photoshop if you wish.

If you want a new PDF with the adjusted images, yes. I did not read your question properly, did not know that’s what you wanted to do. I’ve never tried to replace an image in Acrobat. Will try it Monday.
