Edit or make changes to a pdf file

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a common format for sharing final versions of files.

• To add or edit text in a PDF that was made in an Office program like Excel or Publisher, start with the original Office file. Open that file in your Office program, make your changes, and then save the file in PDF format again.

• To convert a PDF and edit it in Word 2013 or newer, check out Edit PDF content in Word.

• Or use a third-party PDF converter tool to import your PDF into an Office file format, make your changes, and then save the file in PDF format again. You can purchase a PDF converter through the Office Store.

  You can also use Adobe Acrobat. For more information, see Adobe Acrobat.
