Learn how to edit PDFs on an iPad from anywhere.

Make edits on PDFs for your own projects or those of a friend or a team, whether you’re at home or on the go.

Team collaborations on a PDF can mean multiple rounds of editing. Perhaps you or a friend are writing an article for a magazine, trying to rework the language to its most accurate and impactful. Or maybe you and your co-workers are building a report, with facts and numbers that can change quickly.

You might think of a PDF as a final document because you often create PDFs from scanned documents or use them to print documents, but a PDF can also be useful for documents in process. They serve as a helpful preview and template for a team to comment on and revise. They are easy to view and edit. They can also serve as forms to be filled out when you create fillable PDF forms on iPad.

Adobe Acrobat online services make it easy to clearly mark your edits and then share them with your teams.

Here’s how to edit a PDF on an iPad.

To begin, go to the Edit PDF page in your browser.

2. Click on the file you want to upload and sign in. You’ll get an array of tools you can use to edit your PDF. The tools available allow you to:
   • Add sticky notes and comments
   • Highlight or add text
   • Underline or strike through text
   • Draw anywhere with a freehand pencil tool, in a variety of colors and thicknesses
3. Once you close the file, you can download or print your document.
4. From the “Share” button, you can share file on iPad with others via email or a link.
