Open the tool: https://playyy.ai/tools/pdf-editor

A PDF is often the only version of a design that survives. Bring a flyer, brochure, invitation, or presentation into Playyy and turn that starting point into your next draft. Edit the elements that import as text and images, then use the design canvas to adjust the page.

## What it helps with

### Fix the details

Correct a date, change a price, or rewrite a headline in text that imports as editable content.

### Refresh the visuals

Replace an outdated product shot or logo and position the new image within your existing layout.

### Find a better layout

Move elements, adjust spacing, and use Playyy’s AI design agent to explore a different direction.

## How to use it

1. **Bring your PDF.** Open the PDF editor in Playyy and choose one PDF, up to 256 MB. Continue through sign-in if prompted.
2. **Review and edit.** Check the imported pages, select editable elements, and update the text, pictures, or layout.
3. **Export the next version.** Review every page before exporting the revised design from Playyy.

## Limitations

Editability depends on the source PDF. Scanned pages and some complex elements may remain images. Review fonts and layout after import.

Files are selected and processed in Playyy, not on this directory. Sign-in, free usage, and AI credits depend on the action and account. See https://playyy.ai/pricing for current plans.

## Questions

### Can I edit the original text in a PDF?

Text that imports as editable text can be changed in Playyy. Some PDFs contain outlined text or scanned pages, which may import as images instead. Check the imported result before making changes.

### Does this work with scanned PDFs?

A scanned page may open as a single image. You can try Split Layers on the image to separate parts of the design, but editable text and an exact reconstruction are not guaranteed.

### What is the PDF upload limit?

The Playyy PDF editor accepts one nonempty PDF at a time, up to 256 MB. Choose the file on the Playyy tool page after opening the editor.

### Can I use AI after importing a PDF?

Yes. In Playyy, you can ask the AI design agent to help rewrite copy, generate a visual, or refine the layout. Available actions and credits depend on your account.
