There will not be a single person on the internet who is not familiar with the term pdf (Portable Document File). but the important thing to consider is how to type on a PDF file? PDF is a very common file type used in all sorts of documents from educational purposes to business and literature.
Let’s say we receive a pdf file, now we have to sign this document and send it back to the sender. This can be some sort of contract or something. Now is there any way we can just download this pdf and just sign it and deliver it back?
Yes, but conditionally. If the sender allows the edit to the pdf you can just download, sign and send it back to the person it belongs to. We need to type on a pdf file.
