Have you ever needed to edit PDF documents like registration or application form that you needed to complete online? In the past, you probably had to print the document, fill it out, add pictures, highlight text and add your comments. Then, you would either scan it or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the process probably took far too much time to complete. Now there is a far easier way to edit PDFs online -- you can simply use pdfFiller. pdfFiller’s powerful tools provide a lot of useful features for working with your PDFs. You can type text anywhere on your PDF and edit it according to your needs. To get started, you upload a PDF to your account or open a document that’s already there. When you open the document, you will see the Edit toolbar along the top:

Choose the Text button or just click anywhere on the document and start typing. You can move text by dragging the text box. You can also change the font type or size by clicking the corresponding dropdown in the toolbar. To underline your text, to make it bold or italic, use the U, B, and I icons. Click the black square to change the color, and click the tree icons to resize the text.

Why can't I type on my PDF document?

Make sure that the security settings allow form filling. (See File > Properties > Security.) Sometimes form creators forget to convert their PDFs to interactive forms, or they intentionally design a form you can only fill in by hand. If you can't type in the form fields, then the fields are probably not interactive.

How do I unlock a PDF for editing?

Choose Tools > Protect > Encrypt > Remove Security. Remove Security: The options vary depending on the type of password security attached to the document. If the document has a Document Open password, click OK to remove it from the document.
