Edit a PDF
Applies To
To edit a PDF, open it in Word. This works best with PDFs that are mostly text. PDFs of book chapters or something that looks like a manuscript from a copier won't be formatted well in Word.
Go toFile >Open.
Find the PDF and open it (you might have to selectBrowse and find the PDF in a folder).
Word tells you that it's going to make a copy of the PDF and convert its contents into a format that Word can display. The original PDF won't be changed at all. SelectOK.
After your edits, you save it as a Word doc or a PDF. In theSavemenu, choose the document type in the Save as dropdown menu and selectOK.
Note: The converted document might not have a perfect page-to-page correspondence with the original. For example, lines and pages may break at different locations.
Convert or save to PDF
Go toExport >Create PDF/XPS Document >Create PDF/XPS.
Select where you want to save your document, like OneDrive.
CheckOptions... to change properties.
SelectPublish.
