# PDF Editor
|
|
|
|
BentoPDF's PDF Editor lets you annotate, highlight, redact, comment, add shapes and images, and search through your PDFs. It loads a full-featured editor directly in your browser with no server uploads required.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Upload your PDF by clicking the drop zone or dragging a file onto it.
|
|
2. The embedded PDF editor opens automatically with your document loaded.
|
|
3. Use the toolbar to annotate, highlight, redact, add text, draw shapes, or insert images.
|
|
4. Click **Download Edited PDF** to save your changes.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Reviewing contracts and marking up changes with highlights and comments
|
|
- Redacting confidential information like social security numbers or financial data before sharing

|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- You can open multiple PDFs at once and switch between them using the tab bar at the top of the editor.
|
|
- The editor preserves the original PDF structure, so fonts, layouts, and form fields remain intact.
|
|
- For bulk watermarking or page numbering, use the dedicated tools instead for more control over formatting.
