How it works
- 1
Open your PDF
Drag it onto this page or tap Choose a PDF. Contracts, forms, quotes and scanned paperwork all open straight away.
- 2
Click and type
Choose Text, click where it should go and type. The box grows as you write so nothing gets cut off.
- 3
Download it
Download the finished PDF — ready to email, print or file. Everything you added is built into the page.
Everything in the free editor
Type anywhere
Click any spot on any page and type. Make it bigger or smaller with A− / A+ or by dragging the corner.
Sign it
Draw your signature with a finger or mouse, or type your name. Drop it on the line and resize it to fit.
Dates, ticks and stamps
Today's date, a tick, initials, or an APPROVED, PAID or RECEIVED stamp — one click each.
Every page
Move between pages of a long document and add to any of them before you download.
Stays on your device
The PDF is opened and finished inside your browser. It isn't sent to our servers.
No watermark
The PDF you download has nothing added except what you put there.
Any size, anywhere on the page
Use A− and A+ to change the size, or drag the corner of the box to scale it. What you see on screen is what prints, at any zoom.
Stamps and dates in one click
Mark a page APPROVED, PAID or RECEIVED with a boxed stamp, or drop in today's date. Each is ordinary text you can still edit, move and resize.
Your document stays with you
The PDF is opened, edited and turned back into a PDF inside your browser. It isn't uploaded to TradeCentral, and nothing about it is kept once you close the page.
Questions
Can I change text that's already in the PDF?
No — it adds new text on top of the page. It doesn't rewrite what's already printed on it.
Can I make the text bigger or smaller?
Yes. Select the text and use A− / A+, or drag the corner of its box.
Is it really free?
Yes — free every time, with no trial, no credits, no watermark and no limit on how many PDFs you work on. It's a free tool from TradeCentral, the job app for Australian tradies.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Open the page, drop in your PDF and start. There's no account and no email address to give.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your PDF is opened and edited inside your browser, and the finished file is created on your device when you download it. It isn't sent to TradeCentral's servers.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — iPhone, Android, tablet or computer. On a phone you can sign with your finger, and the page fits your screen.
