I tried doing this with 3 different pdfs and nothing in them is editable in canva. They just convert as full images and nothing is clickable individually. What am I doing wrong?

Can you hyperlink a tab to another page in the file? Like let's say at page 10 in table of contents to page 10? I hope you get what I mean

Do you have a video on how to import PDF file from Canva into InDesign?

I want to start selling ebook templates that can be edited. Would this work?

it changing the FONT, how to restore?

what if the pdf dont allow you to make alternations in canva

I tried using Word to change an image on a PDF but it changed the whole document. I searched YT for a solution and found this video. Canva worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for sharing this. I recently uploaded a new book to KDP and the system told me that the fonts were not embedded. I'm hoping this will fix the problem. Do you have any other solutions to this problem?

HI! I created a pdf ebook on Canva and used a Canva video clip. When I try to download it, it says I can only download it as an mpv file. I presume that the mpv format isn't really responsive to how long it takes a viewer to read a page. I tried to find a link to insert for the Canva imported video but I didn't find one.

Is the only solution to put the Canva video on a website and then link it?

Thanks

What if I’m using a phone please

please answer me ( question ) – How to turned a word doc into a nice pdf flyer on canva?

How do you split 91 pages file into multiple documents of 20 pages per file.

good video though i noticed you didn't edit the document you only added stuff to it, I am in a hassle now because canva turned my design in to an image for some reason and i can't edit ir anymore. Why won't canva let me edit a document I designed on canva?

I’m wanting to make digital prints to sell on Etsy now it’s like Santa letters ect ..do I just save as pdf file and they can still edit it ?

i learned everything except how to edit a pdf… sheeesh

Does this one works on phone?

what camera do you use please…can i have your email so i connect with you?

thanks bro

Thanks! Fantastic examples.

I have the first 5 pages of a book nicely made in Canva. However, I want to add the introduction page to the 5th page. The Intro page was created and edited in Libre Office Writer, the n exported to a pdf. When I go into Canva to the place of the 5th page I can not upload the "Intro" page. In fact, the pdf file does not show in my file list from my library of files from Libre Office. Can't figure out what I am doing wrong, and how I can get that Intro page copied to Canva. Just dump, I guess. LOL

I would like to thank you for the COUNTLESS HOURS you just saved me. I've been trying to make some basic edits to my PDF ebook – first in Acrobat DC Pro and then in InDesign. I spent a half hour JUST trying to change the color of a box in Acrobat and then the instructions for InDesign showed having to place every single page in the document individually! My document is 41 pages!! And I just needed to edit some colors and update some of the text. I came across your video and this worked beautifully! I need to tweak some of the text formatting, but that won't take me near as long as the other two options. Again, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

Thanks my man

can't upload a PDF on free version

Grateful Blessinngs Aurelius, this has helped me greatly, love your sessions

Why is my pdf not uploading even when it’s just one page … and i even created the pdf in canva and downloaded it

Do you know if there is a way to add existing canva work into another canva design? I have created a design that but want to use content/pages from another canva design into the first canva design. Know any way to be able to add them together?

Can I do this on my iPhone

thank you soooooo much for sharing this feature. instant subscriber 🙂

Thanks for your hard work on this.

The text forma are not matching the file text

Thanks alot dude, that worked

Great video, I create business plans and other financial report. I always wanted to edit and make it look better, without re-typing the entire document. Thank you.

I'm having issues with downloading my images in canva when trying to save them as a pdf print format. They save as an html chrome format and I need a pdf format to convert to jpg with 300 dpi for my print on demand products. But I need a pdf format to convert. I also use my USB drive to save my images but this doesn't help since the initial saves are in chrome html format

how about in cellphone?

Hello! I have 23 separate PDF files that I want to merge into file with 23 pages. I also want to crop each page in half. Can I do this in Canva? Unfortunately I don't have Adobe Reader which isn't allowing me to crop or combine files into one.
