How to edit PDFs on a Mac with online tools.
To edit a PDF on your Mac using Adobe Acrobat online tools, follow these simple steps:
- Open your web browser and go to the Adobe Acrobat online PDF editor.
- Click Select a file.
- Navigate to the file you want to edit, or drag and drop it into the drop zone.
- Once the file uploads, sign in to access tools for adding text, highlighting, drawing, and more.

What kind of edits can I make?
Adobe Acrobat online services offer an array of easy-to-use tools for editing PDFs. You can highlight, underline, strikethrough, or add text, and even draw directly on the document. Plus, you can use sticky notes to track changes, and edit, delete, or reply to comments for easy collaboration.
Sometimes, you may need to edit PDFs at the structural level. Perhaps a client has asked to rearrange pages or merge multiple PDF files. The online editor lets you organise your pages by rotating, reordering, deleting, extracting, or inserting them as needed.
From the same interface, you can also compress your file or convert it into a different format, such as Microsoft Word (in case you want to translate it, for example), PowerPoint, Excel or JPEG.
