Turn a PDF into a doodle video

PDF import is how you stop retyping a lesson or a one-pager. You upload the file in the builder, choose how characters should be cast, and Voodle proposes narrated whiteboard scenes. The result is a normal project — same editor, same export.

The longer guide with examples: PDF to whiteboard video.

Upload

1. Create a project from the dashboard
2. Choose the PDF flow (not the empty prompt)
3. Upload a reasonably sized PDF — a chapter, a one-pager, a short deck
4. Pick a cast mode: library characters, figures from the document, or a mix

Huge scanned books will make a bad movie. Split them.

Review like an editor, not like a scanner

The parser will happily turn a table of contents into a scene. Delete it.

Check:

• Proper nouns and formulas
• Scenes that repeat the same page in different words
• Cast members that do not match the audience (a boardroom character in a grade-5 lesson)

Then walk the voiceover the same way you would for a prompt-built story.

After import

You are on the same rails as the AI wizard:

• Characters and props
• Editor
• Export

Nothing about the PDF remains sacred. Rewrite freely.

When to skip PDF import

If the document has no sequence — a dump of screenshots, a spreadsheet printout — write a sentence instead. Generation needs a story more than it needs a file.
