Edit real PDFs on Mac
Pdf Editor changes the document itself: rewrite text, move page objects, add links and images, fill forms, sign, redact and prepare files for print.

Pdf Editor is not only an annotator. In Edit mode you can rewrite printed PDF text, move and resize page objects, place images and add links directly in the document — and it stays honest about what a finished PDF page can and cannot reflow.
The welcome window opens with three sample documents — The Granite Cathedral, Trail Signage and Visitor Guide — your recent files, and one-click tasks: Merge PDFs, Manage Pages, Page Numbers, Compress PDF and Crop Pages.
Sample PDFs →
Drag across words for highlight, underline or strikeout. Draw with pencil or smoothed pen. Add rectangles, ellipses, lines, text boxes, notes, stamps and signatures — then move, resize, restyle or erase any of them later.
Marking up →Pdf Editor understands screen and print color. It detects RGB, CMYK and named spot inks, shows which inks the document uses, and previews individual printing plates for production checks.
You can rewrite real text, search and copy text, edit solid colors, move objects, place images and add links. Controls that would require impossible paragraph reflow stay unavailable and explain why.

For external clients, open Help ▸ MCP Server…, copy the configuration, and your assistant can read pages, search for words, rewrite text, move page objects, add links and images, highlight, add notes and stamps, move pages, fill fields, apply watermarks, render pages and undo actions through the same machinery as the app UI.
