Questions about PDF viewer
- Why use this instead of my browser’s own viewer?
- Often you should use your browser’s. This is here for the times it fails you: a PDF that will not preview in your email, a work machine with the built-in viewer disabled, or a phone that insists on opening an app. And when you are done reading, every tool on this site is one click away.
- Is my file uploaded to read it?
- No. The document is rendered without ever being transmitted, the same way a native reader would open it.
- Can I edit or annotate here?
- This one only reads. Annotating, highlighting, filling in a form or signing are separate tools on this site, each doing one job properly. A viewer that tries to do everything is where most PDF software starts going wrong.
