Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Opening and editing PDF documents, part of Word 2016 Essential Training.
- Not many people realize that…here in Microsoft Word, even dating back…to Word 2013 for example, we could open up…PDF files right in Word, make changes to them,…and save it back to PDF.…That's what we're going to do in this movie,…so as you can see I've closed everything up.…We're going to go to File, select Open…and Browse to the Chapter1 folder of your Exercise Files.…In Chapter1, you'll see something called…LandonHotel_press_release.…
It's a PDF file, which means it's read-only,…stands for Portable Document Format,…and when we select it we can click Open…and we're going to see a message.…Word is about to convert your PDF file…to a document format that can be edited in Word.…So, it could take awhile depending on…the length of the document and…if it's full of graphics, for example.…In our case, this is a very short text-based document…so when we click OK, it takes just a second…to open up the file here in Word.…
Now it's a Word document, like any other Word document,…but we can go in here, make changes.…Let's change the date from January 2014…
