I know we can use Application Launcher for Drive or Drive for Desktop in order to edit the documents with locally installed software but that is not what we're looking for, just like we do not use local versions of Word, Pages, WordPerfect, etc. Instead they want the edited file to be saved in their file system which makes no sense for us. While all of these tools can be launched from Drive the edited file is not saved back to Drive. We've tried many of the well known tools such as Acrobat, SmallPDF, Sejda, DocHub, Lumin, etc. I cannot find a web based PDF editor that can edit the file in-place, exactly like Docs does for word processing. This is not limited to just a paid account, but you can only perform so many edits per day with a free account. While this does not replace the file you opened and edited initially, it allows you to have a backup to remove or keep if the edit was incorrect.
#BEST FREE PDF EDITOR GOOGLE APP UPDATE#
I don’t want to use an OS based applications.ĮDIT 3/2/23: There has been an update to the addon app SmallPDF that now allows you to edit a PDF from Google Drive and save it back to Google Drive into a folder at your choice. I am using MacOS, so are other users and a few Windows users as well. I thought this would be more simple than it is proving to be. I don't want the revised document to be held on some app servers, and I want it to edit the PDF document it is editing simply. I want to be able to open apps on Drive, edit them in whatever this add-on is, and have it saved as the original document. I am trying to find a solution for this that works. I want GSuite to be the single-stop solution and offload any on-device apps in favor of a system that works completely hardware agnostic. I have lots of PDFs that many team members use regularly.
