r/OnlyOffice

Hello! I just downloaded ONLYOFFICE and tried to open a PDF that I had annotated using WPS Office and another that i annotated using ILovePDF. It appears that I am in a view only mode because the only options I see are print or share and none of my previous annotations are there. Can someone please help me figure out how to see those and also how to be in an edit mode. I tried everything the mighty AI suggested and ended up in an endless cycle of information that was not helpful. 😄

One last thing - can I merge multiple PDFs into one and then be able to split the pages I want?

Thanks for the help!

I left OnlyOffice some time ago because of lack of features, jumped ship over to LibreOffice.

However, recently I downloaded OnlyOffice again out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised at how it has significantly improved. So after having caring out some cursory tests, I decided to return, (like the prodigal son).

Thanks for all your recent efforts to improve the product!

I’m a student and I need something for assignments, spreadsheets and presentations. I’ve used wps office and it worked fine but now m wondering if OnlyOffice is good choice for this kind of work.
If u use it regularly, does it work well for everyday school tasks? Really like to hear your experience.

I tried creating a CDM application password and still integration doesnt work. Im using android onlyoffice and have ksuite plan + paid.

Cheers!

where is the button to select an image transparent colour to remove background?

Right now, copying an image in ONLYOFFICE only works if you're pasting it somewhere else inside the app. If you try to paste it into Discord, Slack, or an image editor, nothing happens because it doesn't actually copy as a standard image file.

Can we please get an update that lets us copy images directly to the system clipboard as a normal PNG? Having to right-click and "Save as picture" every single time really slows down workflow.

Sixteen years ago, ONLYOFFICE started as an internal tool at Ascensio System SIA. No grand ambitions of building a global office suite — just a team that needed a better way to collaborate.

To mark the occasion, we’re publishing a series of 16 articles that trace our journey from a small team with a big idea to the office applications used by millions today.

The first article looks back at what the SaaS landscape looked like in 2009, and honestly, it's a trip: clunky web apps and document editing in a browser that felt more like a dare than a feature.

What we reflect on most isn't any single release or milestone. It's the steady work of shipping year after year and listening to the people who actually use what we build.

If you want to see how far the industry has come since 2009, the full story is on our blog.

We'd love to hear from our Reddit community — when did you first come across ONLYOFFICE, and what's kept you around?
