Now that the document is open, you can go ahead and edit sections of it. To do this, click on the "Edit" tab where you will find a number of editing options, including "Add Text," "Add Image," and "Link," among others. Choose the option that corresponds to the action you want to take on the PDF document that you uploaded. For example, choose "Add Image" if you would like to add an image anywhere in the document. You can then browse for the image you wish to add. Once the image is in the document, you will see a blue box around it, click on the edges of this box to resize the image.
Once you are happy with all of the changes you wish to make to the document, you can convert the file into a more Google Docs-friendly format such as Word. Fortunately, PDFelement makes it very easy to use. Just click on "Convert" and then select the "To Word" option to convert the file. Click "Save" in the pop-up window to begin the conversion. The whole process should take just a few seconds. You should then see another dialogue box confirming that the conversion process is complete.
Click on the link next to "Output Folder" to go to the folder containing the converted file. You can then upload the edited, converted file to Google Docs and share it with your networks. Everyone with a Google account has access to Google Docs, which is an online word processor that allows users to create and format documents that can be shared with other people.
The single biggest advantage of using Google docs is that it makes collaboration on projects quite easy. While this can still be done, it takes time and an office set-up with reliable equipment.
The rise of cloud-based storage with applications such as Google Drive has allowed us to take our documents anywhere and edit them directly, without the need for printing. This has saved businesses time and given rise to greater remote and freelance working capabilities. With the capacity to easily edit text documents, spreadsheets or presentations, people naturally want to be able to do the same with PDF files.
So, what are our options for editing PDF documents in the cloud? Unfortunately, there is no Google cloud-native app that edits PDFs directly. We will take a look at this process, examining both its advantages and disadvantages, and then show you another way to efficiently edit PDFs in Google Drive that can give you full functionality. The stable office job almost seems an outdated concept. An outsourced employee on a temporary contract may be working in a different time zone and never meet their colleagues face-to-face.
Just one document can be shared instantly with multiple colleagues, with real-time syncing ensuring that any alterations and comments can be viewed and acted on as they occur.
Here is how you can do it:. Now that you have selected to open the PDF in Google Docs, you are free to edit the text and utilize all the other tools that Docs provides.
This includes inserting and editing images, setting paragraphing styles, adding footnotes, running translations and incorporating charts and tables. The fact that there is such a huge range of features that can be employed in Docs makes it the app of choice for many.
While this may seem like the end of the story, there are a couple of things that need to be mentioned:. This allows text from images and even handwritten text to be read by a machine. Google does this well and if you notice on conversion, it even retains some formatting from your PDF such as text size, bolding, italics and so on. So where can we go from here? PDFs are rarely a simple text document and therefore require editing tools that Google Docs is not best placed to support.
Luckily, third-party apps can solve this problem. PDFs are the standard by which we transmit documentation for a simple reason, they are self-contained and can be viewed by anyone, anywhere. If you created a Microsoft Word document, for example, the person you send the file to would also need Microsoft Word to view your document as you intended. If you try to open the document with OpenOffice or some other doc file reader, you will notice that there will be formatting differences.
This is because a different program will apply its own treatment and calculations to the information contained in the document. This may not always be such a problem, but consider a scenario where one party needs to send a table of specific figures to a second party. If we continue to use the Microsoft Word example, we find that even an older version of the same program can have trouble identifying things such as new fonts that have been used in a document.
How are PDF documents different? If you want to access Google Docs, you need to first log in Google Drive with your google account. In Google Drive, you will be able to edit PDF documents, share them with friends, family, co-workers, or the world depending on how you want to share the PDF document. Then click the arrow button and choose "Files" to select the PDF file you want from your local folder.
You then upload the PDF file that you want to edit in Google docs.
