Checklist for refining your converted Turtl Doc

After importing your PDF, these are the steps to take to ensure your PDF translated nicely into Turtl

Updated today

After you've converted your PDF into a Turtl Doc, it's important to review and make any desired changes before publishing and sharing. Below is a helpful checklist of changes to look out for when reviewing your Doc.

Cover

  • Check that the Cover heading and subheading are pulled through correctly from the PDF.


Title/Chapter Splits

  • Ensure you’re happy with how the content has been split into chapters. If you’d like to move Content pages to different chapters, you can easily copy and paste. Check out this article to learn how.

  • Check that all of the Title page headings/subheadings have been pulled through correctly from the PDF.


Content/Page Layouts

  • Check that all of the Content page headings and subheadings have been pulled through correctly from the PDF.

  • Check that any hyperlinks have been pulled through from the PDF and are linked in the Doc.

  • Check that you’re happy with any generated interactivity e.g. polls and quotes, and make any tweaks you’d like to.

  • Check for any overflowing text boxes - some Content pages may require manual layout adjustments to ensure everything fits properly on the page.

  • Remove any unwanted white space.

  • Use Content AI to swap page layouts if you wish to try a different page layout option.


Images

  • Check that any imagery you want to use from the PDF has been pulled through. When we convert PDFs into Turtl Docs, we may filter out images that are of poorer quality, but you can easily access all of the images from the PDF in the media library within the "PDF images tab" and add them anywhere in the Doc.

  • Occasionally, images from the PDF may have been used more than once throughout the Doc. If you'd like to replace any, you can easily do this by clicking on the image in the "Background" section of the Title page editor.


    Or if the image is on a Content page, hover over the image in the Content page editor and click on the "Edit image URL" icon.

  • If you had any layered images and text in your PDF, double-check that they were all flagged during the conversion. If text has been flattened into the image, you may want to include it as text in the editor so that you can edit it.


Back Cover

  • Check the Back cover and ensure any information you’d like is included.


Mobile

  • Before publishing and sharing, check that you’re happy with the mobile preview. Take a look at this article to learn how to optimize content for mobile.
