How to edit a PDF without Adobe Acrobat
Acrobat is powerful, but most people only need to fix a line, sign or fill a form. Here is how to do it for free.
Step by step
Decide what you need
Small changes, signatures, notes and page removal are well covered by a browser editor.
Open the file in PDFEasyEdit
Drop it into the editor. No install, no account.
Make the changes
Use Edit text, Add text, Sign, Highlight, Whiteout, Image and page deletion.
Download the new file
Your original is untouched.
When a browser editor is enough
For typo fixes, filling forms, signing, adding notes, inserting stamps and removing pages, a browser editor is faster than installing a large program, and it works on any computer or phone.
When you still need desktop software
Rewriting entire pages with automatic reflow, certified digital signatures, optical character recognition for scans, advanced redaction, and creating complex forms are jobs for specialised desktop tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes, with no watermark and no account.
Will the layout break?
Edits are drawn on top of the original page, so the layout of everything else is unchanged.
Can I edit images inside the PDF?
You can cover and replace them, but not retouch embedded pictures.
