Unable to Edit Existing Content in Imported PDF Documents – Is This Expected Behavior or a Known Limitation?

Development ARM

Hello Team,

I am using Collabora CODE and have a question regarding PDF editing behavior.

Environment:

  • Product: Collabora CODE

  • Version: 26.04.1.4.1

  • Deployment: Azure Container

  • Application Hosting: Azure App Service

When I upload/import a PDF document and open it in the Collabora editor, the existing PDF content appears to be rendered as images or graphical objects.

I can:

  • Add new pages

  • Add new text

  • Add new shapes and content

However, I cannot modify the original content that already exists in the imported PDF document.

My questions are:

  1. Is this the expected behavior when editing imported PDF files in Collabora?

  2. Are PDF pages imported as images/graphics instead of editable text and objects?

  3. Is there any configuration, setting, or recommended approach that would allow editing of the original imported PDF content?

  4. Is this a known limitation of Collabora, or is there any fix planned in future releases to make the imported PDF content editable?
