Step-by-step guide

How To Edit a PDF Online

Upload a document, pick a tool, adjust it in place — then save or download the result.

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Choose a file above, or drag one onto the drop area. You edit a copy — the original is never changed, and every file is deleted after 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Pick a tool from the tools bar

    Text writes on the page or edits existing lines, Links adds a clickable address, Forms adds fillable fields, Images places pictures and stamps, Sign draws your signature, Whiteout erases what you cover, Annotate highlights and strikes through, Shapes draws boxes, lines and arrows — with Undo and Redo at the end.

    The editor's tools bar: Text, Links, Forms, Images, Sign, Whiteout, Annotate, Shapes, Undo and Redo

    Feedback talks to the team, Show pages opens the thumbnail rail and More holds zoom, rotate, shortcuts and fonts — then Save keeps the draft, Save and Continue finishes the edit.

    Adjust it with the float bar

    Select anything on the page and the float bar appears right there: bold and italic, font size and family, colour, thickness, linking, moving, border and fill — no separate panel to hunt for.

    Save or download

    Save keeps the draft in the editor so you can carry on later; Save and Continue finishes the edit and opens the ready page, where the file can be downloaded, shared or printed.

The tools on the bar

What Each Tool Does

The real bar, one box per tool on it — and every file is deleted after 2 hours.

The editor's tools bar: Text, Links, Forms, Images, Sign, Whiteout, Annotate, Shapes, Undo and Redo

  • Text

    Click anywhere on the page to write — or click existing words to edit them in place.

  • Links

    Turn any part of a page into a clickable link to a web address.

  • Forms

    Drop fillable fields on the page: text boxes, dropdowns, checkboxes and radios.

  • Images

    Place a picture from your computer or a web address — or add a stamp.

  • Sign

    Type, draw, upload or snap a signature and put it wherever it belongs.

  • Whiteout

    Drag over anything that should not be there — it disappears behind a clean patch.

  • Annotate

    Highlight, underline or strike through text, in whatever colour you pick.

  • Shapes

    Draw rectangles, ellipses, triangles, diamonds, stars, waves, lines and arrows — with border, fill, and a ↻ grip that turns any shape through 360° (tap to reset).

  • Show pages

    Open the thumbnail rail to add blank pages, rotate or delete pages.

  • Save

    Save keeps the draft for later; Save and Continue opens the finished file to download, share or print.

Undo and Redo close the bar, More holds zoom, page rotation, keyboard shortcuts and the font list, and Feedback talks straight to the team. While a tool is in hand, the little padlock keeps it armed, so a run of arrows or ticks takes one click each.
