Navigate to the PDF editor

Use the PDF editor to make changes to the PDF document itself including naming, replacing or updating the base PDF file, and formatting of the PDF output. From here, you can also add or edit any individual PDF field.

The PDF editor can be found in the Workflow editor and is used to edit the individual instance of a PDF within the associated Workflow. If you would like to edit a PDF across multiple Workflows, use a PDF template.
