PDF files are a great way to share documents because they can be opened on virtually any device. But what if you need to edit the PDF? Can you open a PDF in Photoshop?
The answer is yes, but it’s not as simple as just opening the file. You need to use an external program to first convert the PDF into an image format that Photoshop can read, such as JPG.
Once the file is converted, you can then open it in Photoshop and edit it like any other image file.
There are several free online tools that can convert PDFs to JPGs, or you can use a paid program like Adobe Acrobat DC. Once you have the JPG version of the PDF, open it in Photoshop and make your edits. When you’re done, save the file as a PDF and share it with whoever needs to see it.
While PDF files are a great way to share documents, they can’t be edited without first converting them into an image format. Thankfully, there are plenty of free online tools that can do this for you.
Simply open the PDF in one of these programs and then open the resulting image file in Photoshop to make your edits. Once you’re done, save the file as a PDF and share it with whoever needs to see it.
