How to Write or Draw on a PDF File in Mac and Windows
While you can highlight text in a PDF, edit PDFs to add or remove information, or add your signature to a PDF file, many PDF readers don’t make it easy to write or draw on a PDF file.
If you just want to write letters in a crossword or draw amendments to a plan, you may not be able to find the tools you need for that. However, there are some methods you can use to write or draw on a PDF in Mac and Windows, which we’ll explain in this guide.
How to Write on a PDF File in Windows
In Windows, you can convert the PDF file into a Word document, edit it, and then save it as a PDF file again to preserve your changes.
- Open a Word document, select File > Open and find the PDF file you want to edit.
- Select the PDF file to open it in Word. If you get a message saying that Word will convert your PDF into an editable document, select OK and wait for the program to finish converting your PDF to an editable format.
- Once the file opens in Word, you can edit the document. Select File > Save as and then select Save as type > PDF to save the document back as a PDF file.
How to Add Text to a PDF File in Windows Using Adobe Acrobat Online
You can write on a PDF document in Windows with Adobe Acrobat’s online service.
