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!
Hi Juan,
Thank you for replying. Opening the PDF is not a problem, but I would like to be able to edit the PDF in the browser. Such as annotations or comment the text.
Regards,
Carl
Hi Carl,
As an alternative, if you have Acrobat Adobe DC (and possibly other instances), it is possible to map a SharePoint library with Adobe itself.
I agree it's really disappointing that we cannot force .pdfs to open in the desktop application.
Like Juan says, hopefully, we will get some better integration soon.
For some of our users, this is enough to stop them from using SharePoint.
