Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document. This works on the PDF Microsoft Excel exported, so you do not need the original file.

- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
How Microsoft Excel writes PDFs
- • Cells become positioned text with grid lines drawn around them.
- • Numbers are right aligned inside their cells.
- • Each sheet area becomes one or more pages.
What that means when you change a version number
- • Numbers in cells keep their right alignment as you edit. Formulas are not kept in a PDF, so totals must be updated by hand.
- • Amounts in Microsoft Excel PDFs are right aligned, so a longer value grows to the left and the column stays straight.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Update it in the header, footer and cover if it appears in several places.
- • Compare with the previous version to list the changes.

+Is it better to edit in Microsoft Excel?
If you have the original Microsoft Excel file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
