November Tip of the Month

Editing a PDF.  


Did you ever wish you could edit a PDF. Google docs allows you to do that natively within docs. 
  • Upload your PDF file into a folder on your google drive.  
  • Once the document is uploaded, right click on the document and click on Open With Google Docs. 
  • The document will convert and be available. 
  • HERE’S the BIGGEST key. At first, it appears that it’s just a picture of the document and that you cannot edit individual words. 
  • When you click on that picture of the document, hit the <DELETE> key. 
  • The picture of the document disappears and all of the words appear for you to edit.
Try it out and let me know what you think in the comments.
(NOTE: This does not work to convert documents with multiple tables and/or graphics)
