What is Import PDF?

Import PDF: Upload the entire content of a PDF document directly into your course

💡 If you want to use your PDF as a source to generate a course rather than importing it as-is, use Edit mode. It supports file uploads so you can build and refine courses from existing material.

How to Import a PDF

Follow these three simple steps to Import a PDF:

  1. Navigate to the course editor

  2. Click on the arrow next to 'Add cards' to open the dropdown menu

  3. Choose Import PDF to upload the entire document


FAQ

Can I edit the content after importing a PDF?

When you import a PDF, you cannot edit the original material, since PDF files are static documents. If you want to upload and edit the existing material, use Sana’s Edit Mode: upload the PDF and generate a new, fully editable card based on the PDF’s content.
