    Kind of wish they would stop trying to push this as “editing”.

    If all you can do is draw on top of it, you’re not actually editing it.

    I’m not shaming them, I understand why they can’t have a full built-in PDF editor, but people that don’t know any better are going to open it up expecting an actual editor and be disappointed.

      Honestly, as long as you can add a signature and some text, that covers about 95% of use cases for a PDF editor.

        You can do same in MS word & others easily, no?

          That’s paid though, right? I don’t use Word, and if I wanted to I’d need to buy it. Firefox is free and accessible to everyone.

          But why? I’m getting the PDFs in my browser, so why not edit them in my browser? Most of the time it’s just a handful of fields and then I need to reupload it (loan forms, W-4, etc).

      True. Many things are missing.

      My first impression was, it will be able to do real editing , editing what I don’t need with same font, size, colour at same place without worrying about alignment etc.

      Big disappointment.
