Why You Cannot Edit a PDF Directly and What to Do Instead

Rendair works on images, so export the PDF page as a JPG or PNG and upload that image. You can then use tools such as Image to Render or Select and Modify on it. PDFs can also be added in the canvas editor. Use a high quality export so the drawing stays sharp.

Rendair works on images, so it is best to turn your PDF page into an image first. Export the page as a JPG or PNG and upload that image.

How to use a PDF page

  1. Export or save the page as a JPG or PNG at a high quality.
  2. Upload the image to Rendair.
  3. Use the tool you need, for example Image to Render for a drawing, or Select and Modify to change part of it.

Good to know

  • PDFs can also be added in the canvas editor.
  • Use a high quality export so lines and text stay sharp.
  • Each page is a separate image, so export the pages you need.
