PDFs, in the workspace.

Got a PDF to read or fix? Open it, find words, reorder pages, and add notes. You can join files, split them, and even read scanned pages.

What you see

Part of the Workspace

PDF sits beside Docs, Slides, Sheets, Designer, and Meeting Notes.

Fix the pages

Delete, move, turn, or copy a page. Join files together, or split one apart.

Notes and text

Add notes and text on top of a page, and search for words in the file.

You stay in control

It is careful with files it cannot trust.

A broken or locked PDF gets a clear message. It does not freeze or guess. Your file goes to Drive only if you turn that on.

Step by step

  1. Open a PDF

    Pick a file from your device.

  2. Read and search

    Pull out the text and search for the words you need.

  3. Change the pages

    Turn, reorder, delete, join, or split pages. Add notes on top.

  4. Save it

    If you connect Google, the file goes to your Drive as a PDF and stays a PDF.

Questions

Can I black out private details?

Not yet. True blacking out is not offered, so do not rely on a note placed over text to hide it.

Can it open a password protected PDF?

No. Password protected PDFs are turned away with a clear message.

Can I use it today?

Not yet. The app is built and in testing, and it has not been released.
