Creating articles from a PDF
Important
The PDF to HTML functionality has been superseded by our xFlowPDF service. Contact us to learn more, or find documentation here.
Canvasflow provides the ability to import a PDF (single or multi page) and automatically create individual Canvasflow articles. When an PDF is processed, each page of a PDF will be first converted to an image and then an article generated for each page of the PDF.
To import PDF's:
- Navigate to your chosen publication
- From the Article Manager, select 'Create Articles from PDF' in the menu bar
-
In the new window, select 'Upload PDF' and locate the PDF file you wish to use.
-
Choose a style to be applied to the articles.
-
A progress bar will estimate time left to complete the upload.
-
Once uploaded, the articles will need to be processed, when ready select the 'Create Articles' option.
-
The PDF will now be processed. Processing may take some time for larger files, so it's important to leave the page open. The pop-up will close once complete and articles will be created in the article manager.
- Images will be set to Use RAW by default.
