pdfeditor.page · · Updated · 2 min read

Open pdfeditor.page in Safari, edit your PDF in the tab and download it to the Files app. There’s no app to install, and without an account the PDF is never uploaded.

Two steps on an iPhone. Retype in Safari, tap Done: the lease zoomed in Safari, its Tenant line retyped to Maya Chen in an outlined box, above a bar with the Times font, Cover and retype, Cancel and Done. Saved to Files: the downloaded lease in the Files app, its Tenant line reading Maya Chen.
In Safari on an iPhone: retype the line, tap Done, and the PDF is saved to Files.
