With PDFelement, you can annotate PDF documents easily on desktop or online, using tools like comments, sticker libraries, and measurement features.
When working with PDFs, it’s important to know whether you need to edit the content or simply annotate it.
- Edit PDF means changing the original content, such as rewriting text, replacing images, or rearranging pages.
