Import a PDF and add page content

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 2 min read

Turn PDF pages into a catalog and add interactive content.

The initial import places each PDF page as an image. Converting a selected page into editable content is a separate action.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Choose a PDF

    EditorImport from PDF

    Choose PDF import on the start screen and upload your .pdf file within the displayed size limit. After upload progress, wait for page processing.

  2. 2

    Compare pages

    EditorPages

    Once the catalog opens, check page count, order, and appearance. Text inside the page image is not directly selectable as a text block. You do not need to decompose the page merely to add new content.

  3. 3

    Add blocks on top

    EditorElements

    Add text, buttons, hotspots, or media and position them on the page. You can lock the imported page image in Layers to avoid moving it. Test the added actions in preview.

  4. 4

    Edit original content when needed

    EditorEdit PDF page

    To change text or images inside the PDF itself, use Make editable as described in the next lesson. Do not assume every scanned page will yield editable text.

Result

Check the page images and overlaid blocks, then decide separately whether source-content editing is needed.
