How To Edit PDFs Without Downloading Software

As the world becomes increasingly digital, it’s becoming more and more common for companies to send PDFs in digital format to request signatures. This can be a bit of a pain because you generally have to print the document, sign it, and then scan it in using a scanner. However, it is possible to edit PDFs so there’s no need to print and scan them in, and you don’t even need to download any software to do it. All you need is a browser-based PDF editor.

Browser-based PDF editors

For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use DeftPDF, a browser-based PDF editor that’s easy to use. There are many others available, so this is only one option. DeftPDF has many of the same features as other PDF editors, but it goes above and beyond in some ways.

You can also fill out and sign PDFs right on your computer using this web-based editor.

1. To do this, go to "Fill & sign" in the menu at the top and then upload the PDF file.

Browser-based PDF editors are especially helpful for those who don't edit enough PDFs to make it worth paying for software.
