#CPSTechTipTuesday will demonstrate how to convert an Adobe PDF document to an editable Microsoft Word document. PDF documents are great for sending files to individuals and keeping the formatting consistent. However, a downfall is that you cannot edit the file. Using Microsoft Word, you can open a PDF document and edit it as needed. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE ▶ https://youtu.be/-AH6yWXx6oI
