Easy to edit pdf files online within firefox

How to edit pdf files online in your Firefox?

In the ADD-ONS of Mozilla, we will find this extension, called PDFescape, it enables you to edit pdf files online free. And it doesn't rely on Adobe Reader at all.

Here is it's features:

1.Three types of editing is possible, to name them, Insert mode–to insert text, image, line, etc., Annotate mode–add a sticky note, or highlight something, Page edit–rotate, move or delete a page.

2.Filling PDF forms becomes a damn easy job.

3.Open an online PDF file in just one click; this works even if there is no PDF reader installed on your system, like Google Chrome (has the ability to open a PDF even in absence of a PDF reader installed on the system).

4.You can also save the changes, download, or print directly from the interface.

5.If you are a frequent user on the PDFescape’s web interface, you can even

6.upload a file instantly. No need to manually go to the PDFescape website.

But if you open a local PDF file with Firefox, PDFescape is not activated. When I tried a PDF link hosted on my own local web server, this option was greyed-out. So, it seems that documents on your own machine are strictly off-limits.

In the editor, modifying existing text doesn't really work. At best, you can overprint your own text on the PDF page, which might be OK to fill in an online form. The Annotation feature works well enough.
