Edit PDF in sharepoint online
Dear community, I am trying to edit pdfs stored in a document library on sharepoint with no success. Is this possible at all to do? Regards!
I don't know if anyone has answered this yet, but what I do is make sure that SP library is synced to my computer; then open that file using File Explorer; if your default apps open correctly and pdf docs are set to open with Adobe DC (subscription), then you should get the editing tools you need and save it exactly from where you opened it. Hope that helps?
Synchronisation or network location is the only practical solution to this but OneDrive is not the most stable of applications and can still lead to version clashes.
The inability to open documents direct from SharePoint into 3rd party apps is top of our list of problems in M365. It's very frustrating that Microsoft haven't implement some mechanism to implement this obvious requirement. File sharing took a step backwards when they implemented SharePoint document libraries compared to old Windows file servers with baked-in file locking.
