To change the content of a PDF file in Webflow without losing the URL, follow these steps:

  1. Access the PDF - You first need to access the PDF file within your Webflow project. This can be done by uploading the PDF file to your Webflow media library or linking to an external source.

  2. Edit the PDF - Once you have accessed the PDF file, you will need to make the necessary changes to the content. Unfortunately, Webflow doesn't have built-in PDF editing capabilities. To edit the PDF, you will need to use a third-party PDF editing tool like Adobe Acrobat or PDFescape. These tools allow you to edit the content of the PDF without changing its URL.

  3. Save the Changes - After editing the PDF, save the changes you made. Make sure to retain the original file name and file format (PDF) to avoid any issues with the PDF URL.

  4. Re-upload or Update the PDF - Now that you have edited the PDF, you need to re-upload or update it in your Webflow project. If you initially uploaded the PDF to your Webflow media library, replace the existing PDF file with the edited version. If you linked to an external source, update the URL of the PDF to point to the edited version.

  5. Test the URL - After uploading or updating the PDF, test the URL to ensure the changes are reflected. Open the PDF file using the URL and verify if the content has been successfully edited.

By following these steps, you can change the content of a PDF file in Webflow without losing the URL.
