Introduction

We know that Microsoft is continuing to change their products one after another and version to version. In that context, Office 365 is no exception. One of the things about Office 365 is that it changes all the time. The much-awaited recent changes (June 2019) are that now we can modify the PDF from SharePoint Online itself which is an awesome news to many SharePoint Online users. Microsoft and Adobe have worked together to make PDF files work better with SharePoint Online.


Challenges we had in PDF editing from SharePoint

The problem was that PDF files needed to be downloaded from SharePoint Online to the local computer to work with and then, uploaded back to SharePoint. This was a traditional way of working with PDF editing. Despite being able to work with PDF files in SharePoint on-premises libraries, the lack of support for the same functionality in SharePoint Online has been a source of frustration for users and tenant administrators alike.

Advantages of editing PDF from SharePoint Online

If you install the new file handler, named as the Adobe Document Cloud PDF Experience for Office 365, things get much smoother for PDFs. This is designed to deepen the integrations with SharePoint and OneDrive.
Now, you can do inline commenting, drawing, and highlighting the selected text, and much more stuff. The Adobe Document Cloud also now supports single login with Azure Active Directory which is an awesome feature – this establishes seamless connectivity between SharePoint Online and Adobe Document Cloud, which is dramatically simplifying the login and avoiding the multiple account logins.

How to configure and integrate the Adobe Document Cloud with SharePoint Online?

Now, I will explain how this can be done. Go to this link to Adobe Document Cloud PDF Experience for Office.

Click on “Get IT NOW” button. You will get the following registration page.




If you are already logged in to your SharePoint Online environment, this will pick your tenant account details automatically. Then, you can see the message in the bottom of the page like ”You are signed in as" – but if you are not signed in to your SharePoint Online environment, you will need to input your username and password.
