Here are some quick steps for how to use the PDF Editor Online extension<\/strong> for Chrome to make changes to PDFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why can\u2019t you edit PDFs easily?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PDFs are notoriously difficult to edit or change<\/strong>. The main reason for this is to keep these documents secure. For example, when working with legal documents, you don\u2019t want people randomly changing or removing clauses. The same goes for intellectual property or copyrighted content. The PDF format adds additional security to these documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most PDF readers don\u2019t have the capabilities to edit the document, only view it. However, a few programs, apps, and browser extensions enable users to add text, images, signatures, and more to a PDF document. The PDF Editor Online is one such add-on made for Chrome browsers<\/strong> and lets users edit PDF documents directly in their browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
