How it works
How to edit a PDF on a Chromebook
Open the PDF
Drag it from the Files app onto this page or choose it; files in Google Drive show up there too.
Edit the text
Click a paragraph and type. Ctrl+Z undoes a change and Ctrl+F finds text.
Download it
The changes are saved as you go. Download the PDF with a Week Pass or Pro.
What you get
A full PDF editor in a Chrome tab
Words, not boxes
The text of the page itself changes, in the document’s font, so the PDF looks as before.
Forms, signatures, pages
Fill forms, sign, add images, merge and split in the same tab.
On any device
Sign in and your documents wait in My documents on any computer.
Undo
Every change can be undone, and earlier versions stay in the history.
FAQ
Questions and answers
Do I need an extension or an Android app?
No. The editor opens in a Chrome tab.
Can I edit a PDF from Google Drive?
Yes: choose it from Google Drive in the Files dialog. The edited PDF downloads to the Chromebook.
Does it work offline?
Opening a document needs a connection. If it drops while you edit, your changes wait and are sent when it is back.
Is it free?
Editing is free and needs no account. Downloading, printing or exporting the result needs a Week Pass ($6 for 7 days, no auto-renewal) or Pro ($12 a month or $96 a year).
