How To Make a PDF and Edit It For Your Needs Online

It is no secret that creating a PDF is a tricky process. PDFs are designed to be secure, only editable with special tools. Despite this, or possibly because of this, PDFs are one of the very most common standard formats. We make it possible for you to make a PDF, with our intuitive and easy to use online tool. No matter what you need to do, whether it converts a file, edit an existing document, or create a new file, you can count on PDFSimpli.  

How To Create a PDF?

Let's say you need to make a PDF from scratch. How would you go about doing this? Our online tool makes it easy. The first step is to open up our PDF editor. You will be greeted by a blank page, as well as a whole array of different tools at the top of your screen. You can use this editor to create whatever you need to in your files. You can add text, images, shapes, or even draw on the page. When you are finished, click the "Convert" button in the upper right corner. You will be able to download the document you created in PDF. What if instead of creating a new PDF from scratch, you need to convert an existing file into a PDF. This process is very similar, although it is a little more complicated. Follow these steps:
  • Click "Upload" and select the file you need to convert. The converter accepts nearly all file types.
  • You will see the document in the editor. You can make some changes to it if need be.
  • Click "Convert" in the upper right corner. Ensure that you have PDF selected as the file type and download the document.
Even if it is a little more involved, the process is still incredibly simple and easy. And you still have powerful tools at your disposal to edit the file even when converting it rather than creating a new PDF.

How To Make a PDF Smaller?

Let's say you need to make an existing PDF smaller. This can mean two different things, but PDFSimpli can handle them both. If you need to make the file size smaller, we have a dedicated PDF compressor tool to do exactly that. It works exactly like the converter. Simply upload the PDF, make any changes you need to, and download the smaller file. If you need to make the content of the file smaller, we have a tool for that too. Search for our tool called "Split PDF." Once again, it is as simple as uploading a PDF and downloading the individual parts of it as two or more separate files.  

How To Make It Fillable?

Some PDFs are designed with text fields built-in. If this the case, you can click on the "Replace Text" button at the top of our editor. Doing so will make all the text fields visible, and you can change or add text to any of them with just a click of your mouse. If the file does not include these text fields, then you can click on the "Text" button to add a text field. You simply click where ever you need to add text, and it will create a new text field. These text fields will remain after you save it, allowing others to edit them in the future. However, what happens if there is already text on the PDF that you need to change, but it is not in one of the pre-built text fields? By the nature of PDFs, it is impossible to remove that text or change it to something else. Our editor tool has a way to accomplish this, however. You can simply add a shape over the text that matches the color of the background. Then you can add new text on top of it.
