Turning Uneditable PDF into Editable

Let's say you have a PDF whose text is not editable or copyable. And you need to get a digital document with the ability to edit. Usually, the solution is troublesome. But not with Google Drive.

Here's what we do
  1. Save the PDF to Google Drive.
  2. On your computer, open the file in the Google Drive cloud service in your browser.
  3. Right-click on the file and select "Open with > Google Docs".
  4. Wait a bit for Google to spur you on. But in a few seconds, you'll have an editable electronic document in Google Docs format.
  5. If the original had fairly complex formatting, you'll probably have to work a little on the appearance of the new file. But that's just a minor detail;).

This solution can be used with scanned PDFs or those created with a smartphone or tablet camera. And by the way, the same trick works with images.
