How to edit a PDF online
You do not need a paid editor to annotate a PDF. Adding a note, a signature or a highlight works directly in the browser.
Go straight to the PDF editor if you already know what to do.
Step-by-step
- 1
Open the editor
Go to the edit tool and add your PDF. Page previews appear once it loads.
- 2
Choose a tool
Pick text to type on the page, draw for freehand marks and signatures, or highlight to emphasise a passage.
- 3
Make your changes
Work page by page. Marks are placed exactly where you click or drag.
- 4
Save and download
Export the annotated PDF; your edits are flattened into the downloaded file.
Things worth knowing
Editing existing text
Original page text cannot be retyped. You add new content on top, which is what most form filling and reviewing needs.
Signing a document
The draw tool works with a mouse, trackpad or finger, so a signature can be added from a phone.
Reordering pages
For page-level changes such as moving or deleting pages, use the organize tool instead.
