hi everyone my name is Kevin today I
want to show you how you can edit a PDF
using Microsoft Word and is full
disclosure Before we jump into this I
work at Microsoft as a full time
employee all right well let's jump on
the desktop Here I am on my desktop and
I have a PDF file called certificate I'm
gonna go ahead and click on that and I
have this nice certificate that I found
online it's a PDF file and I run a
company and I have some employees who I
want to celebrate you know instead of
giving people a pay raise I'm just gonna
give them this paper certificate and
hopefully that makes them satisfied with
this company now really I'd probably
just give them more money I think that
makes people happy and maybe throw this
certificate in too but here's the
certificate and unfortunately it's a PDF
and I can't edit the name of the
recipient I can't type anything down
here I can't type in a date it's kind of
annoying how it's hard to edit PDF so I
wish I could just open it and just start
typing but luckily it's pretty easy to
do if you have Microsoft Word ok so I'm
gonna go ahead and let's close this
certificate for now and I'm gonna open
up Microsoft Word now this is the latest
version of word this comes with office
365 but if you have an older version as
well this should probably work I can't
guarantee it I just know that it works
with the most recent recent copy of word
so I'm on the word a home screen here
and it's actually very simple to open
this PDF so I'm gonna click on the
certificate and I could just drag that
over to word as an alternative I can
also go to open and I could find where
the file is on my PC but I'm gonna go
with the easy approach we're simply
gonna drag and drop the certificate over
now I get this long message here and I
know it's very easy to just always click
OK when you see a message but basically
all it's telling me that it's gonna do
is it's gonna take that PDF and it's
gonna convert that into a Word document
and it'll be optimized for me to edit
who edits what I want to do that sounds
good and it might not look exactly like
the original PDF especially if the
original PDF contained a lot of graphics
ok sounds reasonable let's give it a
shot so I'm gonna click on OK and I
could also set it so it never shows me
that message again so we're gonna click
on OK and let's see here so here's the
certificate I just showed you as a PDF
and the nice
is look at that I could just type
letters on this PDF I can modify it so
let's say for my company the first
winner of the employee of the month is
Kevin Strasser no better person to win
than the owner of the company I'm sure
that's going to improve morale of all of
my employees so I'm just gonna make sure
that's nice and centered so there it is
awarded to Kevin Stratford and
unfortunately I can't click right down
here so why don't I just copy this text
box and so that way I get that same font
and I'm just gonna get rid of the
underline we're gonna reduce the font
size a little bit ooh
name of presents here that's a little
awkward because I'm the owner and I'm
also the presenter and I gave it to
myself that's really obvious now but
we'll just go with it and then for the
date we're gonna put in September umber
first so we're just gonna enter in
today's date September 1st 2019 and
there we have it so I modified or I
edited this certificate and now what I
could do is I could go to file and we're
gonna go to save as and now what I could
do is I could actually save it as a PDF
so maybe I'm going to call this a
certificate Kevin since it's gonna be my
certificate and we'll go ahead and click
on save and so now what this has done is
it saved a new PDF and I modified it so
here you know it's awarded to me
presented by me and it has today's date
on it so that's how you open a PDF using
Microsoft Word how you could edit the
PDF using Microsoft Word and then how
you can save your save it as a PDF again
using Microsoft Word so you could open
edit and save and get it back into a PDF
format it's actually really easy to do
if you have word so yeah go ahead go
ahead
edit those PDFs hopefully this helped
