According to Google, the update improves the image and text wrapping related to images when you’re importing PDF files. This way, you might be able to seamlessly edit the contents in the text associated with the image. In addition, the update preserves various characteristics of the original file including underline, strikethrough, background color, and fonts. The main advantage of retaining the formatting is that you no longer have to manually make the changes to bring the imported file closer to the source PDF file. Google Docs has also gained support for multi-column layouts, custom page sizes, tables with borders, and improved content ordering. You will notice them the next time you import PDFs to Google Docs. All these formatting options should prove helpful for users who import PDFs on a regular basis.

The rollout started on the 30th of November and it could take up to three days for feature visibility. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t mention the availability of these improvements for personal Google accounts. However, we could expect the software giant to make this convenient addition to users with personal Google accounts in the future.
