PDFfiller’s Microsoft Office Add-in

OneDrive is one of the most popular cloud storage services in the world and enables users not only to store and share their information, but also to create and edit documents using familiar Microsoft Office applications. We at PDFfiller asked ourselves a very difficult question: how can we be useful to OneDrive users? How can we expand the toolkit they have at their disposal that enables them to do practically everything? Our answer was to integrate PDFfiller into Microsoft Office Online.
PDFfiller’s Office Add-in enables you to export Word documents from OneDrive directly to PDFfiller and convert them into PDFs with just a few clicks. Using PDFfiller’s powerful features you can edit, sign, email, and share your PDF documents, as well as request other people to edit and sign them. Save time by eliminating the need to download attachments, save and search for files, or upload documents to your account.

How to Install PDFfiller Office Add-in

Create a Word document in OneDrive or open an existing one. In the top ribbon, select the Insert tab and click Office Add-ins.
