PDF is the format you receive but rarely control — Rixoffice changes that. The suite includes a full PDF Editor for changing existing files, one-click PDF export from the document and presentation apps, page-to-image conversion, and an AI-assisted PDF-to-Word converter. Everything runs locally on your machine.
Three ways PDFs appear in Rixoffice
Rixoffice treats PDF as both an input and an output:
- As a file to edit — .pdf opens in the PDF Editor with text and image editing, annotation, signing, stamping and form filling.
- As an export target — RixDocs and RixSlides write clean PDFs with File, Export as PDF.
- As raw material — PDF pages can become images, and whole PDFs can convert to editable Word documents.
Editing an existing PDF
Open any .pdf and the PDF Editor shows the pages in a scrollable view with tools in a side rail. What you can do:
- Edit text and images in place — click a paragraph or picture and change it, without recreating the page.
- Annotate — highlights, notes, drawing markup and stamps for review rounds.
- Sign and stamp — place signatures and approval stamps where they belong.
- Fill forms — complete interactive PDF forms and save the result.
- Page operations — reorder, rotate, delete and insert pages.
- AI tools — more than 20 AI helpers for searching, summarizing and marking up long PDFs.
The AI tools can read attachments of type pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx, plain text and images, so you can attach a contract and ask for the payment terms in plain language.
Working with scanned documents
Scanned PDFs are images of paper, and the editor treats them honestly: you can annotate, stamp, sign and reorganize them like any other PDF. For text-level changes to a scan, the PDF-to-Word conversion route (below) is the practical path, because the result is an editable document you can fix up in RixDocs.
Creating PDFs from RixDocs and RixSlides
- Open your document in RixDocs or your deck in RixSlides.
- Choose File, Export as PDF.
- Review the export options — page range, quality — and confirm.
- The PDF lands where you chose, ready to email, print or archive.
Exporting is local, so confidential documents never touch a server on the way to PDF. Printing uses the same pipeline via File, Print when you need paper instead.
Turning PDFs into other things
Two conversions cover most real-world needs:
- PDF to Word (5 credits) — the AI PDF-to-Word tool converts a PDF into an editable .docx so you can fix, extend or rebrand it in RixDocs. It costs 5 AI credits per conversion on credit-based plans.
- PDF page to image — export a page as a PNG when you need it inside a document, a slide or a chat message. See the PNG export guide.
Both conversions run on your machine; only the AI conversion consumes credits, and only on the built-in Rix AI — bring-your-own-key usage is never metered.
