Need to make quick edits to a document without installing software? An Online Document Editor is your go-to solution. These web-based tools offer a range of functionalities, from simple text modifications to complex document manipulations, all within your browser. This guide will walk you through the essential features of a versatile online document editor, showing you just how easy it is to manage your documents digitally.
Upload Your Files Securely
Getting started is simple. Our online document editor prioritizes your security. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, ensuring your data remains private. We understand the importance of confidentiality; therefore, all files are permanently deleted from our servers after processing.
If you prefer to work offline, consider our desktop version, Sejda Desktop. It offers the same powerful features as the online service, with the added benefit of keeping your files entirely on your local computer and utilizing your installed fonts.
To begin, just click the ‘Upload’ button and select the document you wish to edit from your computer. Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop files directly onto the page for quick access.
For added convenience, our online document editor also integrates with cloud services.
Access Files from Dropbox or Google Drive
Need to edit a document stored in the cloud? No problem. Our online document editor allows you to directly access and edit files from your Dropbox or Google Drive accounts. Simply expand the ‘Upload’ dropdown menu and select your desired cloud storage service to pick your files.
Add and Modify Text Effortlessly
Working with text in our online document editor is intuitive and flexible.
Add Text to Your Document
To insert new text, ensure the ‘Text’ tool is selected from the toolbar. Then, simply click anywhere on your document where you want to add text and start typing. It’s as straightforward as using a traditional text editor.
Edit Existing Text with Ease
Need to correct a typo or update information? Select the ‘Text’ tool from the top toolbar. Click on any existing text within your document to begin editing. Our online document editor provides comprehensive text formatting options. You can easily make text bold or italic, adjust the font size, change the font family, and even alter the text color to match your document’s style or highlight important sections.
Enhance Documents with Images
Visual elements can significantly enhance your documents. Our online document editor makes adding and managing images simple.
Insert New Images
To add an image, click on the ‘Images’ menu and select ‘New Image’. Choose an image file from your computer, and it will be added to your document. Once inserted, you can easily reposition the image by dragging it with your mouse. Resize the image by dragging its corners to achieve the perfect fit within your document layout.
Fill Out Forms Directly
Dealing with forms is a common task. Our online document editor streamlines this process.
Fill Interactive and Non-Interactive Forms
For interactive PDF forms, simply click on any form field and start typing your information. What if the form isn’t interactive? No problem! For forms without input fields, just select the ‘Text’ tool to type text directly onto the form, and use the ‘Forms’ tool to add checkmarks and radio buttons where needed. This ensures you can complete any form, regardless of its original format.
Hyperlinks and Annotations
Enhance your document’s interactivity and clarity with links and annotations.
Add and Edit Hyperlinks
Our online document editor allows you to add new hyperlinks to external websites or to specific pages within the document itself. You can also easily modify existing hyperlinks, ensuring your document is always up-to-date and accurately linked.
Whiteout Sensitive Information
Need to redact sensitive information? The whiteout feature allows you to cover any part of your document with a white rectangle, effectively making the content underneath permanently invisible. This is crucial for privacy and document security.
Add Shapes for Emphasis
Use the ‘Shape’ tool to insert rectangles or ellipses onto your document pages. You can customize these shapes by changing their border and background fill colors to draw attention to specific areas or add visual structure.
Find and Replace Text Quickly
Need to make consistent changes throughout your document? The find and replace feature lets you easily find all instances of a word or phrase and replace them with new text. This saves time and ensures consistency across your entire document.
Add Form Fields for Data Collection
For creating fillable forms, our online document editor provides a comprehensive ‘Forms’ menu. Select from various form field types, including Text fields, Multiline Text areas, Dropdown menus, Checkboxes, and Radio buttons. Simply click on the desired form field type and place it anywhere on the page. You can then enter the field’s name and, optionally, set a default value.
Annotate and Review Documents
Collaborating on documents is made easier with annotation tools. Use the PDF annotator to strikethrough text for suggesting deletions or highlight text to emphasize key points. Click on ‘Annotate’, choose your desired style (strikethrough or highlight), and then select the text on the page to apply the annotation.
Save and Download Your Edited Document
Once you’ve finished editing, saving your changes is straightforward. Click the ‘Apply changes’ button to finalize all modifications. Then, click ‘Download’ to save your edited document in PDF format. Your updated document is ready to be used, shared, or archived.
With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features, our online document editor simplifies document management, making it accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
