If I remember correctly, it was only possible to add text into pre-existing text fields. With this feature, you can add text (or also scribbles) anywhere you’d like.

Hi, Crazy

I’m not actually sure, I thought it was new because Firefox indicated as such when I updated.

I actually like this a lot. Why not make computer things easy for people using them? In environments where people send forms as non-editable .pdf files, this is great!

I appreciate this. Previously I had to switch to Edge for a moment just for PDF editing.

Not needing to pay money just to add some text to a PDF is a very nice feature. Especially since PDFs already open in Firefox by default.

Editable PDF’s are commonly used around the world, for statistics, beurocracy and application processes. Having a program readily available to edit those is generally a good thing.

It also prevents Adobe from getting downloads, which is an absolute win.

I read this and immediately celebrated it as the greatest feature to grace firefox in a while. It’s already my default pdf viewer since it means I don’t have to start up any program to view a pdf, now I also don’t need to do that to edit one.

As someone who reads PDFs almost exclusively, you have no idea how handy this tool is for those of us who do use it. Firefox really is leading in this regard for its users and us happy few are so happy right now.

I agree, this is juat bloat. Super useful .to have the utility but in a browser ffs ? Just have an app people can download that you can do it with, I’d for sure use it. They don’t even have native grouped tabs yet, something that a browser should do so start focusing in browser improvement.
