importing a PDF

So I'm slowly transferring notes from my paper Bible into Logos. However there are charts and drawings that I guess I could recreate in Omnigraffle or something and then save as a PDF but is there a way to import a PDF into a document in one of my folders?

And if not... any suggestions?

Thanks

You can only import .docx files. However, MSWord will convert a PDF into .docx format.

Word 2013 only (prior ones cannot).

There are also some websites that will convert them as well if you don't want to fork out for Word 2013

I've been following the advice from user Royce Odiyar in this thread:

It involves using Microsoft's OneDrive, which I already use. But I think this mainly works with pdfs that are not scanned in pdfs. For that, I have used Microsoft's OneNote. You can "print" a pdf to a sheet in OneNote, right click on the printout, select "Copy text from all pages of the printout", and then paste it into a Word document, which can then be turned into a personal book. This method generally involves a lot of clean up, though.

I'm not sure how pictures are displayed in personal books. If you have charts and drawings, I'd probably try to scan them in as a jpg and then paste the picture file into a Word document and make that a personal book. I've never tried it, so I cannot tell you how well that would work.
