  2. 2A file picker appears. Select a PDF from your computer. Files up to 100 MB are supported.
  3. 3A progress bar shows the upload status. Once complete, the document appears in your library with a thumbnail preview.
  4. 4ProPDFSuite processes the document in the background — this usually takes a few seconds. You will see a processing indicator on the card until it is ready.

Supported formats: PDF, Word (.docx, .doc), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp), plain text, and images (.jpg, .png, .gif, .webp, .tiff, .bmp). Non-PDF files are automatically converted to PDF on upload. Maximum file size: 100 MB.

Thumbnail Sidebar

Shows all pages as thumbnails. Click a thumbnail to jump to that page. Right-click for page-level operations (rotate, delete, extract).

Canvas

Properties Panel

Appears when an object is selected. Adjust font size, color, border, fill, and other properties without leaving the canvas.
