Published in OneDrive PDF Edit 2 mins read

To edit a PDF stored on OneDrive, you can leverage integrated tools as described in the provided reference, which outlines a process involving selecting the file and using an Adobe Acrobat preview window.

The Core Editing Process

Editing a PDF directly from your OneDrive or SharePoint library involves selecting the document and initiating an edit mode through the file preview interface.

Here is a step-by-step breakdown based on the reference:

  1. Select Your File: Begin by locating and selecting the PDF file you want to edit from either your Microsoft SharePoint or OneDrive document library.
  2. Choose Edit: Once the file is selected and a preview appears, choose Edit directly from the Adobe Acrobat preview window.
  3. Enter Edit Mode: Upon selecting Edit, the PDF becomes editable, and a dedicated Edit panel opens on the left side of the screen, providing you with editing tools.

Available Editing Operations

In the edit mode, you gain the ability to modify the content of your PDF document. The reference specifically highlights certain capabilities.

Operation Description
Add new text Insert new words, sentences, or paragraphs.
(Other potential operations not specified in this reference) (May include deleting text, formatting, etc. depending on the tool's features)

For example, using the "Add new text" operation allows you to easily insert information into your document where needed, expanding upon the existing content.

What Happens When You Start Editing?

As noted, when you initiate the edit action, the PDF transitions from a static document view to an interactive editing state. This change is accompanied by the appearance of the Edit panel, which houses the tools necessary to make modifications. The Adobe Acrobat preview window facilitates this transition, integrating the editing capability directly within the OneDrive/SharePoint interface.
