The PDF editor Smallpdf allows you to edit PDFs for free. This tool converts the PDF file back into a Word document in order to be able to edit it. In principle, it works just like Word itself. Select the file, and the tool converts it to a Word document automatically. Afterwards, you can download the file.
You can also edit PDF files directly online. But this requires you to upload the document, which generally carries a security risk. For this reason, Smallpdf can be accessed via an SSL-encrypted connection. Additionally, the Swiss company provides assurance that it doesn’t store files long term, deleting them automatically after an hour. Smallpdf is suitable for all Windows, Linux, and Mac devices, requires no installation or registration, and works in all popular browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE.
