Dan,
What kind of images are you trying to edit. tiff,jpeg,eps? What version of Acrobat (standard or professional) are you using. I don't think that option is available in Acro 6 Standard. You are able to do minimal changes to images, but not edit in photoshop. The layers view in Acrobat, will only show them if they were actually created in the original application and shouldn't interfere with opening the file in photoshop. Having said that you may also try to download the latest update from adobes website or you could uninstall /re-install.

I asked this question in PDF Basics and nobody replied so maybe it is not a
basic question.
When I try to edit an image in Acrobat 6 I have problems. In 5 I could
select a picture, open it in Photoshop with the edit image tool and edit the
photo with no trouble.
In Acrobat 6 however, when I try to select a photo there will be several
"layers" of blue outline boxes which mostly have nothing in them. Sometimes
they will have type or art in them but not always. If I do edit the picture
and save it when I reopen the PDF the layers are all askew and the original
ad is now useless.
I put layers in quotes because I tried the Acrobat 6 layers tool and it showed no layers. I am not saying that the original artist did not have layers, just that they do not show up in the Acrobt 6 layers tool.
Further, I know that some of the PDFs I get are simply newspaper pages produced by unsophisticated (in graphics) editors. Surely they are not deliberately creating layers of any sort.
The problem is especially severe if they use PageMaker 7, any photo imported
into a frame will have an additional layer, or whatever it is.
Can anybody tell me how to deal with these things?
