How to Make Changes to a PDF
Alternatively, you might find you need to do more editing to the document first before you can fill it out or type on it. Maybe you need to re-order sections of it or add material to it. In order to make those changes, use an easy workflow with our PDF converters.
- Upload your PDF into a Smallpdf converter for Word, PPT, Excel, and so on. Whatever file format you need, use that converter.
- Convert your PDF to that file format.
- Download your new ex-PDF file in the new format.
- Open your ex-PDF file in Word, PPT, Excel.
- Then make your edits and save.
- Use the reverse-converter to convert the Word, PPT, or Excel file back to PDF.
- Receive a freshly edited PDF at the end!
How to Type on a PDF
There are plenty of times you might find yourself in need of our Edit Tool. You could be filling in a form on a PDF and want a pdf-filler or maybe you need to type on a PDF to share notes with a student or colleague. Most of the time, when we need a tool in a pinch, it’s to fill in PDF forms that are due soon. It’s easy to share or show friends, colleagues and relatives how to fill out PDF forms as well as do it yourself using our tool. It’s simple and intuitive.
At the same time, using the longer process can give you more options in terms of changes and edits if you need to make big changes. You’ll have a broader range of tools to edit text, adjust font size, and add or remove text or images from your written documents.
With the myriad of document types being saved in PDF, such as PDF forms, contracts, and written school assignments, you should opt for the option that best serves your needs. But whichever method you choose, you can use one of our conversion tools to convert Word, Excel, PPT, and other file types to the PDF (Portable Document Format).
