What You Can Edit in a PDF on Windows

With WPS Office on Windows, you can usually:

Tips for Scanned or Hard-to-Edit PDFs

If the PDF is a scan (text is part of the image), regular text editing may not work until the page is recognized. In WPS, use OCR or convert the file to Word first, edit the content, then export back to PDF. For a dedicated walkthrough, read how to edit a scanned PDF.

For locked or read-only files, see how to edit a read-only PDF on Windows.
