How to Edit a PDF for Free (No Software)

You do not need expensive software to make changes to a PDF. Whether you want to add a line of text, highlight a section, sign it or leave a note, you can do it all for free in your browser. Here are the options.

Try the Edit PDF tool →

Add text and shapes

Use the Edit PDF tool to drop text and shapes onto any page — handy for filling flat forms or adding a missing detail.

Highlight and add notes

To review a document, open Highlight PDF. You can highlight lines or areas in colour and drop draggable sticky notes anywhere on the page, then save everything into the PDF.

Sign and secure

Add a signature with Sign PDF, fill in forms with Fill PDF Forms, and protect the finished file with a password using Protect PDF. Every one of these runs in your browser, so your document is never uploaded.
