PDF Files were originally created as the digital version of paper meaning that they were not designed to be edited. However, it is often the case that you may find yourself in a situation where you need to make some edits to a PDF. Whether you are updating your CV, changing an address, electronically signing a contract, or adding information to your presentation slides, it is important to know how you can make quick edits to a PDF document. Below, we will go through exactly how to edit both PDF text and images using an iPhone so you aren’t wasting any of your valuable time.
