Editing PDF documents

How to split or rearrange PDF documents directly from the inbox

Updated over a week ago

Using the built-in PDF viewer and editor, you can easily edit PDFs to suit your evolving needs. For example, you can rotate pages, reorder pages and split the document into different pages to create new documents.

You can edit PDFs from either the Inbox or, once filed to the patient chart, from the Patient Files section. The workflow for both is the same.

Steps

1. From the main menu, click Inbox, or from the patient chart, click Start/Open > Patient Files.

2. Find and access the desired PDF document.

3. At the bottom of the document, click Split.

The PDF Splitter window appears with the following navigation and editing options:
