Importing
Two distinct ways to bring existing work into Creavim: InDesign IDML for editable structure, or PDF for preserving the original page appearance.
Import from InDesign (IDML)
Your IDML is rebuilt with its page layout, text styles and master pages, while missing or substituted fonts are reported in the import diagnostics.
- 1
Export as IDML
Prepare an IDML file from InDesign. Check links and fonts before importing and retain a visual reference for comparison.
- 2
Upload your file
Choose your IDML through the start screen’s InDesign import action. The catalog opens after upload and processing.

Edit and enrich
Compare imported text, images, and shapes with the source and review warnings. Unsupported elements may not retain the same editability. Then complete interactions and accessibility fields.
Import from PDF
PDF pages are first imported with their original appearance intact. When editing is required, only the page you choose is converted into editable content.
- 1
Upload your PDF
Select your file through the start screen’s PDF import action and follow upload and page-processing progress.
- 2
Choose the page to edit
Open only the page you need for editing. Complex PDF structures may require a review of fonts and layout after conversion.

Edit and publish
Edit your pages, add interactivity and publish in one click; share by link or on your own domain.
