Everything a PDF editor should do
The tools other editors charge for are included.
Edit text and images
Change words in the document's own font, reformat paragraphs, and move, crop, replace or delete pictures.
Fill and sign
Type into forms, add a typed, drawn or picture signature, or sign with a certificate-based digital ID.
Comment and review
Highlight, add notes, shapes and stamps, then reply and track each comment's status.
Organize pages
Reorder, rotate, delete, insert, extract and split pages, and combine several files into one.
Redact
Remove sensitive text and images for good, not just cover them, and strip hidden information.
Recognize text (OCR)
Turn a scan into text you can search, select, copy and edit, in many languages.
Compare versions
See changed words, formatting and pictures between two versions, marked on both.
Build forms
Add fields by hand or detect them on a flat form, with calculations and validation.
Protect
Lock a PDF with a password and AES-256 encryption, with optional printing and editing limits.

Questions
Is Cloud PDF really free?
Yes. Every MyCloudSuites app is free, with every feature included. You need a free account to open it in your browser or to download it.
Can I edit the text that's already in a PDF?
Yes. Choose Edit PDF, click a paragraph and type. Cloud PDF sets your changes in the document's own font when it can, or in a font installed on your computer, and moves the text below so nothing overlaps.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Yes. Run Recognize Text (OCR) first. The scan becomes searchable, selectable text, and you can then edit it like any other text.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. In the browser and on the desktop, Cloud PDF opens and saves files on your own computer. A document only leaves it when you ask the optional AI assistant a question, and only the pages you choose to share.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Cloud PDF runs in current Chrome or Edge at mycloudsuites.com/app. The desktop app for Windows and Mac adds a few tools a browser can't do, like scanning and converting to Word.
