You can now edit PDFs directly in Microsoft Word without needing additional software. To do this, simply right-click on the PDF document, select "Open With," and then choose "Word."

To open and edit a PDF in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the PDF File:
    • Find the PDF file you want to edit on your computer.
  2. Right-Click on the PDF:
    • Right-click the PDF file.
  3. Select "Open With":
    • In the context menu that appears, hover over or select "Open With."
  4. Choose "Word":
    • From the list of programs, select "Word" (it might be listed as "Microsoft Word").
  5. Conversion Notification:
    • Word will notify you that it will convert the PDF into an editable Word document. Click "OK" or "Convert" to proceed.
  6. Edit the Document:
    • Once the PDF is converted, it will open as a Word document. You can now edit the text, images, and other content as needed.
  7. Save the Edited Document:
    • After editing, save the document as a Word file (.docx) or as a PDF if you need to maintain the PDF format.

Important Notes:

  • Complex PDFs (especially those with lots of graphics or unique formatting) may not convert perfectly.
  • Scanned PDFs or image-based PDFs cannot be edited by any program.
