peadf is an online PDF editor with local browser processing. Edit existing text, fill forms, sign, redact and use OCR on scanned pages. Optional hosting lets you share PDFs by link or QR code and replace files without changing the sharing link. Editing is free to try; full-editor downloads require paid access. Free accounts can host up to five PDFs with visitor ads. Paid plans remove ads and increase hosting capacity.

I built peadf because every "free PDF editor" I tried had a catch: a watermark, a forced upload to someone's server, or editing that just meant pasting a text box over the page.
peadf edits the existing text in a PDF, reusing embedded fonts where available and reflowing paragraphs as you type. It also handles:
🖊️ White-out with a fill matched to the page background
📝 Form filling, including adding information to flat forms
✅ Completing PDF checkbox fields
🔒 Redaction that removes selected content from the file
📄 Scanned documents, with OCR that runs on your device
Editing, OCR and PDF tool processing happen locally in your browser. Uploading is optional: you choose whether to host a document with peadf so other people can view it online.
Hosted PDFs have a shareable link and QR code. Replace the file while keeping the same link and QR code, which is useful for menus, price lists, brochures and other documents that change regularly.
On pricing: editing is free to try, while downloading an edited PDF from the full editor requires an account and paid access. A free account can host up to five PDFs, with a short advert shown to visitors. Paid plans remove viewing ads, include edited PDF downloads and increase hosting capacity.
