Import PDFs
Last updated on
Nov 20, 2025
Learn how to import PDFs as editable Adobe Express projects, allowing you to edit text, images, and layouts.
Try it in the app
Import and enhance your old PDF files in a few simple steps.
Before you begin:
To ensure a smooth import experience, review the following requirements:
- PDFs must be under 99MB.
- PDFs must not exceed 99 pages.
- Remove any passwords or restrictions before importing.
Import a single PDF file
Upload a PDF file from your device and select Open.
The file is converted into an editable Adobe Express file. You can access the saved file in Your stuff > Files.
Import multiple PDFs
Open Adobe Express and select Your stuff from the left panel.
Select Create file > Import from other apps.
Drag and drop or browse the files from your device.
Once the upload is complete, select Open to customize the file in the Adobe Express editor or Import another file.
The file is converted into an editable Adobe Express file. To access the saved file, navigate to Your stuff > Files.
Note
Adobe Express makes your PDF editable, which means complex layouts or uncommon fonts might be replaced during import. If you need a pixel-perfect version, such as for forms or official documents, edit in Adobe Acrobat instead.
Create anything in Adobe Express
From social posts to presentations to brand kits, design it all in one place.
