Steps
How to Import PDFs or Photos to Google Docs
-
Go to Google Drive and find or upload the image/PDF that you would like to open in Docs.
-
Right click on the desired file and select Open With Google Docs.
-
This will convert the PDF into an editable Google Document, or if done with an image will intelligently convert any written text into editable text.
-
From here, if an image was converted to Google Doc form, it will be editable just like any other document.
-
The document will automatically save, but to get the most recent version in PDF form select File > Download > PDF.
