How to Edit a PDF File in Word
Hey everyone. In today's video, I want to show you how to take a PDF document and edit the PDF document using Microsoft word. Now, by default, typically I edit my PDF documents with Adobe software called Adobe Acrobat. But this is actually part of my Adobe creative cloud membership. So I pay for Photoshop illustrator programs like that, and that comes with Adobe Acrobat, which actually has a tool built into it to natively, edit PDFs like this.
So anything I want to edit changing images basically becomes very easy, but I know a lot of people don't have this paid option, but they do have Microsoft word maybe through office three 65, which I also have. So let me show you that. Let me close that there'll be Acrobat pro here and this time let's go ahead and open Microsoft word and inside a Microsoft word from the homepage.
I just went to the open tab right here. So go to the open tab and give it access to your computer here. If you have the PDF in one drive, if you use something like that, you could access it here. In this case, I have a right on my desktop. So I'm going to go to my computer here and it's going to open this dialog box and I'm going to go ahead and go to my desktop and choose that PDF document and press open.
Now, it's going to convert that document to a word document. Sometimes you also may ask for you to allow for this conversion to happen. So you may get a popup where you have to say, allow, and here inside of this document, I can basically edit everything. So if I have a type of, for example, like here, I could go ahead and correct the typo just by right-clicking on choosing from the correction. I could add a period. If I missed one, I could go ahead and press and delete an entire role. For example, if you have a word document that looks like this, so I could go ahead and press okay and it shifted her up like that. Now, Adobe Acrobat is the native way of editing PDFs from Adobe.
So it tends to work better from my experience, but this tends to do a good job. Let me just go ahead and undo that and you could also go ahead and delete logos. For example, images sometimes with PDFs, that's a little bit heavy on graphics. It doesn't do as good of a job, but with ward-based and just simple graphics on a PDF, it will do a pretty good job with editing anything and once you're done with your edit, you'll just have to come up to file. Save as. And instead of saving that as the word document that it is right now, you could go ahead and change that to a PDF and export it out as the PDF. So it could overwrite the original PDF that you opened up. And it's that simple to edit PDF documents inside of Microsoft word.
