Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PDF Editor free to use?

Yes. AWE-OS PDF Editor is completely free — no account, no watermark, and no usage limits.

Is my PDF file safe when editing online?

Yes. All editing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript (PDF.js and pdf-lib). Your PDF is never uploaded to any server and is permanently discarded when you close the tab. This makes it safe to use with Aadhaar cards, bank statements, salary slips, contracts, and other sensitive documents.

Can I sign a PDF with this tool?

Yes. Select the Signature tool, then either draw your signature with a mouse or touchscreen, or type your name and choose a script font. Place the signature anywhere on the page, resize it, and download. The signature is embedded as an image in the final PDF.

Does the PDF Editor work on mobile?

Yes. The editor is responsive and works on Android and iOS in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Touch drawing and tap-to-place annotations are fully supported.

Can I reorder or delete pages?

Yes. The left sidebar shows thumbnail previews of all pages. Drag thumbnails to reorder pages, or use the rotate and delete icons on each thumbnail. Page changes are reflected in the downloaded PDF.
