Managing PDF documents has become an integral part of our digital lives, whether for work, study, or personal tasks. The need to edit these documents arises frequently, and thankfully, an Online Pdf Editor provides a convenient and efficient solution. Forget about installing bulky software or navigating complicated interfaces. With the right online PDF editor, you can modify your PDFs directly in your web browser, saving you time and hassle. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to use an online PDF editor and highlight its key features.
Upload Your PDF File
The first step to editing your PDF online is to upload your document. Our online PDF editor ensures your files are securely uploaded via an encrypted connection. We prioritize your privacy; your files remain secure and are permanently deleted from our servers after processing.
If you prefer offline editing for enhanced security or to utilize your local fonts, consider trying Sejda Desktop, which offers the same features as our online PDF editor but operates directly from your computer.
To begin, simply click the ‘Upload’ button and select the PDF file you wish to edit from your computer. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files directly onto the page for a quicker upload.
For users who store their documents in the cloud, our online PDF editor also supports direct uploads from Dropbox and Google Drive. Expand the ‘Upload’ dropdown menu to connect to your cloud storage and select your PDF files seamlessly.
Add Text to Your PDF Document
Need to insert text into your PDF? It’s incredibly straightforward with our online PDF editor. Ensure the ‘Text’ tool is selected from the toolbar. Then, simply click anywhere on the PDF page where you want to add text and start typing. This feature is perfect for filling in forms, adding notes, or inserting comments directly into your PDF.
Modify Existing Text in PDFs
Correcting errors or updating information in your PDF has never been easier. Select the ‘Text’ tool from the top toolbar, and then click on the text you wish to modify. You can then directly edit the existing text, just like in a word processor. Furthermore, our online PDF editor allows you to customize the text appearance. You can 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.

Insert Images into Your PDF
Visual elements can significantly enhance your PDF documents. 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 PDF page. Once inserted, you can easily reposition the image by dragging it with your mouse. To resize the image, simply drag the corners until it fits perfectly within your document. This feature is ideal for adding logos, photos, or graphics to your PDFs.
Fill Out PDF Forms with Ease
Filling out PDF forms online is streamlined with our online PDF editor. If your PDF contains interactive form fields, simply click on any field and begin typing your information. For PDFs that lack interactive form fields, don’t worry! Select the ‘Text’ tool to type text into the form, and use the ‘Forms’ tool to easily add checkmarks and radio bullets. This ensures you can complete any PDF form, regardless of its format.

Add and Edit Hyperlinks in PDFs
Enhance your PDF documents with hyperlinks to external websites or internal pages. Our online PDF editor allows you to add new links to web URLs or specific pages within the document. Additionally, you can easily modify existing hyperlinks, ensuring your links are always up-to-date and accurate. This is perfect for creating interactive documents or adding references to online resources.

Whiteout Sensitive Information in PDFs
Need to redact sensitive information from your PDF? The ‘Whiteout’ feature allows you to cover any part of the PDF page with a white rectangle, effectively making the underlying content invisible. This is crucial for protecting private data before sharing your documents.
Incorporate Shapes into Your PDF
Add visual structure to your PDFs with shapes. Click the ‘Shape’ tool to insert rectangular or ellipse shapes onto a PDF page. Customize the appearance of your shapes by changing the border and background fill colors to draw attention to specific areas or simply enhance the visual appeal of your document.
Find and Replace Text within PDFs
Quickly locate and replace words or phrases throughout your PDF document using the ‘Find and Replace’ tool. This feature is incredibly useful for updating document terminology, correcting repeated errors, or standardizing language across your PDF, saving you valuable time and effort.

Add Form Fields to Create Interactive PDFs
Transform static PDFs into interactive forms by adding form fields. Click on ‘Forms’ in the top menu and select from various form input types, including Text fields, Multiline Text areas, Dropdown menus, Checkboxes, and Radio buttons. Simply click on your desired form field type and place it anywhere on the page. You can then enter the new field’s name and, optionally, set a default value, creating fillable PDF forms directly online.
Annotate PDF Pages for Collaboration
Collaborate effectively on PDF documents using the annotation tools. The PDF annotator allows you to strikethrough and highlight text on PDF pages. Click on ‘Annotate’, choose your desired style (strikethrough or highlight), and then select the text on the page to apply the annotation. This is perfect for reviewing documents, providing feedback, or emphasizing key points.
