How can I edit PDF files?

Although PDF is intended as a non-editable format, there are a few ways to make changes to a PDF file:

• Adobe Document Cloud
• Edit the PDF in Microsoft Word
• Split or merge PDF files using PDF Split and Merge
• Edit the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Adobe Document Cloud

Adobe Document Cloud (https://documentcloud.adobe.com) is a convenient online service that enables you to perform a wide range of editing actions on PDF files.

To use the service you'll first need to register for an Adobe ID (https://account.adobe.com).

Edit the PDF in Microsoft Word

To edit a PDF, simply open it in Word. This works best with PDFs that are mostly text.

• Go to File > Open.
• Find the PDF, and open it (you might have to select Browse 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. Select OK.

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.

Split or merge PDF files using PDF Split and Merge (PDFsam)

Note: PDFsam is available from the Company Portal.

With PdfSAM you can:

• Merge PDF files
• Rotate PDF files
• Split PDF files
• Extract pages from PDF files
• Compress PDF files
• Delete pages from PDF files
• Crop PDF files
• Convert images to PDF files
• Convert PDF files to greyscale

Edit the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro
