The new ability to edit PDFs in @firefox makes my life a helluva lot easier.

    Didn’t know that was a thing. Built in or need a. Extension? What kind of editing is enabled(fill, sign, full edit…?) and how would you compare it to other solutions and online editors?

      It’s just filling forms, adding text, and drawing. It doesn’t have actual editing capabilities.

        What’s actual editing?

        A lot of my interaction with PDFs could be completed with filling oit forms/drawing

          Things like changing, moving, or deleting text and images, inserting or reordering pages, and editing the table of contents.
          There’s not many open source programs capable of doing that. Pdftk and LibreOffice Draw are probably the best options right now.
