Import PDF for editing as Zoho Writer Document

Zoho PDF Editor is an exclusive PDF editing tool to make quick edits to your PDF text, add images, fillable or signer fields. More info.

Overview

When you import a PDF inside Zoho Writer, it is converted into a regular Writer document allowing you to directly add, edit and format its content just like any Writer or Word document. For detailed steps on how to edit a Writer document, refer to this page.

How to edit PDFs as a Writer document

Import the required PDF document to Zoho Writer in any of these ways:

Go to Zoho Writer dashboard, and click the Upload button and select the file.
Use the Upload Document option in the File menu in Zoho Writer's editor.
Import the PDF document from Zoho WorkDrive. Right click on the desired PDF document in WorkDrive --> "Open With" --> "Zoho Writer (Web)"

Make the required edits.
Go to the File menu, click the Save As or Download As option, and select PDF format to save or download the updated document as a new PDF.

Edit PDFs inline in Zoho Writer

Edit PDFs within Zoho Writer easily—just like a Word or a Writer document. Modify text, insert names and dates, update links, and fix typos, add/replace images, and more without disturbing the original layout. No need for third-party PDF editors—make changes directly and also collaborate in real time on the PDF.

Convert PDFs and paper forms to interactive, fillable web and PDF forms

Transform static PDFs into interactive, fillable forms or signature collection-ready documents. Zoho Writer’s intelligent PDF scanning detects form fields automatically, simplifying data collection and digital signature workflows.
