Work with PDFs

After importing a PDF file into Inspire, you can reference it the same as you would an image. It's a binary file so you can't edit it, but you can add it to a topic using Oxygen and manage it in the Components browser.

Work with PDF files as you would an image:

  • Select a PDF file with the Image selector in Oxygen and add it to a topic.
  • See only the first page of the PDF image in the topic.
  • In the Components browser, select the PDF binary component, and open it in the PDF Viewer to see all pages.
  • View component details for a PDF to see a thumbnail of only the first page.
  • Publish a document that contains a PDF image.

Although you can drag-and-drop an image file from your desktop straight into a topic, you cannot do this with a PDF file.
