Opening Files

There are many ways to open a file in Xodo PDF Studio. The fastest and easiest way is to set Xodo PDF Studio as your default PDF application or drag and drop any PDF file directly into the Xodo PDF Studio frame. You can also use the various other methods such as the Welcome Screen or File tab which includes opening from local folders, recent documents, as well as cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, & OneDrive.

Note: Using any of the below methods and selecting one of the other Supported File Types will automatically convert the file to a PDF.

 

Drag and Drop

Files can be dragged and dropped onto Xodo PDF Studio.

  • Supported file types can be created into a new document by dragging the file onto a Xodo PDF Studio window with no document currently open.
  • Supported file types can be inserted as new pages into an existing open document by dragging the file to the Thumbnail Pane.
  • Pages can also be dragged and dropped across multiple open documents.

Note: Dropping a file onto the main document pane will open the document in a new frame.
