The Step-by-Step Guide to Freely Editing PDFs on Your Chromebook
INTRODUCTION
To extract text from photos or PDF files, it is possible to use Wine to run an offline OCR application on Chromebooks. (how to edit pdf file)
This will allow you to do so. On the other hand, if you want to digitally sign a document, add text or photos to a PDF, or perform any of these things, you will need a PDF editor on your Chromebook. To our great relief, functionality for PDF annotation was only recently enabled by Google to the native Gallery app. You are able to do fundamental edits to PDFs with this capability even if it is currently in its most basic version. In this article, we have demonstrated how to edit PDF files on a Chromebook without incurring any additional costs. In addition to that, we have provided information about a third-party tool that enables you to read, make changes to, and sign PDFs using Chromebooks. In light of this, let's get acquainted with the process of editing PDF files on a Chromebook.
Chromebook users will soon be able to edit PDF files.
We've included two other ways to edit PDF files on a Chromebook in this lesson that you can check out. Both of these approaches are available to you at no cost, and a wide variety of resources are at your disposal.
Use a Chromebook to make edits to PDF files. Utilizing the In-Device Gallery Application
In order to use the Gallery app to edit PDF files, the Chromebook you're using must be running Chrome OS 104 or a later version. Recent changes made by Google to its native Gallery app include the addition of new features such as PDF annotation, the ability to add text and signatures, and more. Having said that, the actions that need to be followed are as follows.
1. Launch the Files app, then double-click the PDF file that you wish to edit in the app's navigation pane. It will open the PDF file in the Gallery app if you leave it as the default setting. You can also right-click on the PDF file, then select "Open With -> Gallery" from the context menu that appears.
2. The next step, which is optional depending on whether you want to input text or fill out a form, is to click on the "Tt" symbol located in the top menu bar of the program.
3. After that, a new menu will appear in the sidebar on the right. You have the ability to select the font, size, alignment, formatting, and color from this location. You are free to proceed with adding a text box to the PDF file at this time.
4. In the event that you want to sign a PDF document or annotate a PDF, click on the "Annotate" symbol (it looks like a squiggly line) that is located in the top menu bar.
5. At this point, select either a pen, a highlighter, or an eraser from the sidebar on the right. You may also choose the color of the pen as well as the size of the pen to make it uniquely yours. When you are finished, click the "Save" button in the upper right corner, and that's it!

Use a Chromebook to make edits to PDF files. Using a Program Provided by a Third Party
Smallpdf is one of the greatest web programs that you can use on your Chromebook to swiftly edit PDF files. Although there are numerous third-party PDF editors, Smallpdf is one of the best. You can add text and annotations to your PDF files, but you can also convert them to other formats, merge files, compress PDF files, and do a great deal more.
Having said that, Smallpdf restricts users to a maximum of two free edits per day for their papers. If you have reached your free storage limit, you can try using another web software that is comparable to this one called Sejda (visit) or SodaPDF (visit). Having said that, the following is a guide that will show you how to edit PDF files on a Chromebook without spending any money.
1. Navigate to the official website of Smallpdf (click here to visit) and upload the PDF file you wish to modify.
2. After that, you will have the ability to add text, annotate, highlight, and insert photos into documents, as well as electronically sign them. When you are finished, click the "Export" button in the upper right corner.
3. If you wish to execute other operations in addition to converting the PDF file, you can access the extensive variety of tools that Smallpdf offers from this location.
Chrome OS devices now include the ability to annotate and sign PDF files.
On Chromebooks, these two methods are the most straightforward and straightforward ways to edit and annotate PDF documents. Smallpdf is my go-to PDF editor since it offers a wide variety of useful features and functions, many of which are on par with those offered by specialized desktop software. On the other hand, the incorporation of PDF annotation capabilities into the native Gallery app is a step in the right direction, and you should give it a shot.

In addition, we have compiled a comprehensive list for you to peruse in order to find Chrome OS applications that are both innovative and impressive. In addition, please let us know in the comment section below if there are any questions you have regarding Chromebooks.

Is it unreasonable for me to expect that a graphic designer who sends documents for review as PDFs should know how to use the commenting, insert text, and delete text functions on Adobe Acrobat so that they can actually read the comments I send them?
#graphic design#adobe acrobat#it has been shocking to me how many copy editing or proofing assignments I have gotten where I make changes the normal way#and then the next person down the line is confused and doesn't know how to read them because they have some weird#personal proprietary way of marking changes in PDFs that they didn't bother to tell me

HI!!! After finishing Disco Elysium I wanted to read Sacred and Terrible Air, but there were two issues:
1. It’s not officially released in English
2. I don’t like staring at pdfs!
So I did what any sane person would do. That is take three days of my life printing and binding it.
TRANSLATION (“thank you Group Ibex” we all say in unison!):
PROCESS PICS:
I apologize in advance for anyone who has experience in this sort of thing this is so botched.
I have NEVER done anything like this before, I don’t even read books on my own volition, but if the Disco fixation wants me to learn how to sew and bookbind I’ll do that.
Four of the signatures above. There were nine total, eight of them with 8 sheets/32 pages and the last was five sheets I think. Threw the pdf into adobe acrobat and went straight to printing with those settings and the “booklet” option enabled.
Pricked holes through each signature! Used thumbtacks and a piece of foam I scavenged from my room, worked out great. It’s probably also worth mentioning I do not have a bone folder, book press, or any of the other fancy schmancy bookbinding tools. Flattened the pages with a pencil and pressed with D&D books…
SEWING TIME. I have never sewn in my life. My success in this regard can be majorly attributed to Sea Lemon on youtube, particularly this tutorial:
youtube
The process from printing to finishing sewing the signatures took ~8 hours. Now we hit our first roadblock, I had no glue for the spine! After going to sleep and waiting what felt like ages (literally 10 hours or so) before I was free to visit a craft store, I tried to find PVA glue because that’s what you’re supposed to use I think?? Yeah. They were out of PVA glue and my impatient ass got mod podge.
‘Tis glued! As you can see I added cardstock to the ends. Joyous day.
Also, you see that sketchbook in the pic? Yeah? You see that lovely cardboard?
It is now the cover. Rest in piss bristol sketchpad backing.
———
EDIT: I see a bunch of people want to attempt this so here’s a video on how to make the hardcover: https://youtu.be/Av_rU-yOPd4?si=7T5zgVJGAfPFBxn-
youtube
I didn’t use any measurements or advice from it but it’s a good reference for when it comes to assembling the cover from ~3:50 onwards. The boards are same size as your text block pages and spine, I think I made the cover width a bit longer just in case it doesn’t cover the text block though. Do not do this with the spine, I regret it.
And note, this is NOT a tutorial, it is the process of someone who got a bit too silly and decided to bind a book, obviously do your own research lol. Don’t be afraid to try it though, it’s surprisingly simple!
———
… So, now that’s done! I swore to myself I wouldn’t start reading SATA/PJÕL until I finished this project completely, meaning I’ll be doing that now yippee :]
#sacred and terrible air#püha ja õudne lõhn#disco elysium#pjõl#i’m normal#proud of this despite it being pretty scuffed#uhh yeah#the spine is a bit too wide but who cares at this point HAHA#my art#i guess?? my creation??

Issues with the scanner. Now issues editing the PDF. To be clear, I'm doing this on two different computers. So it's not that. It's me.
Adobe Acrobat should kill itself.
#I'm cursed to know exactly how all these programs work & what I want them to do for me#but simply cannot make them work as they're designed to#the printer/scanner hardware is a piece of shit with bad wifi connection#the program it comes with cant make PDFs larger than 100 pages#so I stitch it in Adobe Acrobat#& edit the text to be deskewed & searchable for ease of reading & research#but holy fucking shit everything fights me the whole way#I wish I had money for a new scanner but I simply don't#so this will be the last book for a while sorry :^/#my post

adobe products I know how to use from easiest to hardest to learn. really interesting stuff I know
acrobat pro - easy, intuitive, helpful. -1 point for being very hard to download illegally.. something about the software makes it only stay cracked for a few days so I download/crack it once a year when I really need to edit a pdf
lightroom - haven't used for anything very complicated but used it to compile high def photos of flies from a microscope for a whole summer. straightforward
dreamweaver - had to use it for website design in college once.. totally useless application, but not too difficult. could figure it out in a few hrs
audition - ive used this to edit podcasts for a school project... not too bad, but have never used it for actual music purposes, so hard to judge
indesign - I love you adobe indesign, so good for poster design, definitely easier to use if you come in with prev. experience from other adobe applications. kind of a learning curve if you haven't though. started using it middle school for a journalism class and now use it for making figures and posters— blends super well with illustrator
premiere pro - starting to get into the ones that have driven me to tears. I came into it with 0 experience from any other video editing software. I still don’t understand how to truly use keyframes. that said I have successfully edited and captioned videos multiple times with it, useful app
photoshop - by far the most experience with photoshop. I love you adobe photoshop but definitely takes practice. spent weeks watching tutorials when I was 11 just so I could make some horse edits and use it to this day all the time
illustrator - what’s a vector, really, and why does the pen tool never work like I think it should. what do you mean that didn’t form a path. extremely powerful software that is truly top of the line for figure making but requires more study than I ever have time to give it since i’m always using it super rushed
after effects - homer simpson am I disabled meme. like all the difficulties of photoshop combined with all the difficulties of premiere pro and then you also have to check every frame. total nightmare that I spent a solid week trying to learn one summer

Debunking “The Yoga Certificate” Conspiracy
I can’t believe I’m spending my Sunday evening discussing this, but misinformation is my pet peeve, and this subject happens to overlap with passions of mine, specifically photography and photo-editing. So, allow me to use my expertise in those areas to refute the post that is going around the fandom claiming Alba photoshopped her yoga course certificate. Even if you’re fully onboard with the whole “they’re just PR” argument, I’d recommend hearing me out, so that you don’t look silly and undermine your own credibility by repeating an easily disproven claim.
Debunking the first argument: “The instructor’s name is edited off the certificate.”
This is based off of a misinterpretation of flash photography and how that impacts the color of an image. Here is the photo that Alba uploaded:
The blog who started this conspiracy (which I can’t tag, as they blocked me after I reblogged their earlier post) cropped the photo of the certificate and circled an area like so:
Yes, there is a slight color difference in that part of the photo. The only problem is, there are color differences throughout the photo, because of a phenomenon called illuminant metamerism. This is just a fancy a way of saying that the color throughout image will appear differently depending on the type and amount of light shining on it. When taking a close-up photo of an object with flash, the light from the flash affects how the lens captures the color. This is because of how the light bounces off the photographed object. The effect varies, depending on the focal length, angle, and texture of the object. It many cases, this kind of metamerism can create subtle splotches of different coloring throughout the image, like so:
So, no, the deceptively cropped photo is not proof of editing. It is proof of flash photography. Next...
Debunking the second argument: “Her name is layered over the white line meaning [it’s] placed over it using editing. It aint [sic] written directly on it.”
Again, sorry, incorrect. First of all, this user (with assistance from @nancydrewwouldnever) claims to have “delayered” the image to prove it was edited. That’s an immediate giveaway that photo editing is not their area of expertise. (No offense.) You cannot “delayer” a JPG or PNG file. If layers were indeed added to the image, you could only discern those layers if you have one of two files: 1) the original .PSD, .IND, or. .AI file that can be opened and manipulated in Adobe Creative Suite or another editing software; or 2) an original PDF file that you’re manipulating in Adobe Acrobat. Instagram stories do not allow for PDF or raw file uploads, so there is no way to “delayer” them, even if they had been edited. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s take a look at the name:
You can see by looking at the “B” and the stems of the “a’s” in Alba’s name that there is some ink bleed from the letters, i.e. the Sharpie or writing implement smudged a bit, creating a blue halo effect from the black ink. And of course the letter “p” crosses over the white line. That’s not proof of editing - that’s how writing works.
We also know that the black letters/numbers were not edited onto the certificate because the blur and pixelation of that lettering is similar to that found on the serif-type white lettering. Using the other blog’s example for a moment, see how their edited-on black lettering has comparatively sharp, crisp edges (for the record, they chose that name, I did not):
It follows then that Alba couldn’t have taken a photo of someone else’s certificate and edited in her information, as the levels of pixelation across the lettering wouldn’t match in that case.
Finally, there are other points that make this conspiracy nonsensical, and they don’t even require knowledge of photo editing:
As the blog acknowledges themselves, the other instructors in the course referred to Alba as a teacher in their Instagram comments. What reason would they have to lie? Do you genuinely think, using all your common sense has to offer, that random normies from Atlanta are “in” on this conspiracy? Genuinely?
People stalked the Yonder website and discovered that Alba taught a “new teacher” class on November 20. Ironically, they tried to use that to prove their previous, now debunked conspiracy that she wasn’t invited to Walt Disney World. Now they’re claiming the yoga studio must’ve received a payoff for her to teach there without a course. As the lingo goes, bffr.
I know some people in this fandom are desperate to believe that Alba is not staying in Atlanta with Chris, that she is just a calculating succubus who pops in for photo ops then spends the rest of her time baiting the fandom. If they believe that, they can justify their nastiness to themselves. They can console themselves that Chris will eventually see her machinations, dump her, and prove them right. I get it - they’ve been proven wrong so many times; and that’s not fun. And here I go, proving them wrong again, though I’m sure they won’t see it that way. They’ll say “hey, Justin!” or “hey, Alba!” or call me a “cleaner.” But they won’t be able to come with facts, because they simply don’t have any.
P.S. Don’t waste time arguing with me on anon. I’ll just delete. If you can’t stand behind your arguments, I’ve got no time for you.
#alba baptista#chris evans#queueanon#I feel so stupid doing this#but seeing people speak so overconfidently when they're plain wrong is just annoying as hell

As someone with a job centered around making things accessible, artificial intelligence is very near and dear to me. It saves me hours of work in some areas and causes me great headaches in others. The latter situations usually involve someone not understanding the parameters of an AI program and what kind of human assistance it needs after the intital output is generated, such as:
People thinking that clicking "convert to accessible PDF" is the final step of making a PDF accessible to screen reader users, rather than the first step before manual human clean up of the tags.
People thinking that auto-captioning software output is the final step to making a video's audio accessible to DHH people, rather than the first step before manual human proofreading and editing of the VTT file.
People thinking that because they ran the "Accessibility Checker" tool on Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Pro and it came up as all good, their product is fully compliant with all accessibility regulations.
And I share all this because AI text-to-image software has become a very hot topic lately, and I've seen some extremely worrying takes about it from people who clearly do not understand how those programs work.
I do believe that the budding text-to-image AI industry is sorely in need of regulation and standards, both on an ethical and legal level, but until we have that in place...
I want you all to be very, very careful with what information you believe or support. I want to strongly encourage you to research how things like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion actually work, what they can and can't do, and what human assistance they need.
And for the love of all that's good, please read any legal proposals in excruciating detail, because if you don't, you're going to end up supporting something that will make it legal for Disney to sue someone for drawing something in a style the same as one of their IPs.

as someone who works with computer my biggest pet peeve is companies who name all their products very similar names. Like you have Adobe the percent company and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which lets you read (but not edit) pdfs and Adobe Acrobat which lets you edit pdfs. Like do you know how difficult it is to have a conversation with an end user about what product they need installed when they have essentially the same name.

I think my fic is basically as clean as I can get it on my own now? Still not gonna post it yet, because we are once again in the posting bug twilight zone, but I think I'm happy with where it's at.
I downloaded it as a PDF and marked it up in Acrobat instead of editing it directly in Docs, because I genuinely did not want to get stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of "go to edit, add thousands more words, go to edit, add thousands more words, go to edit..."
Like... oof. I am still very glad that I can write longer stuff now, because that's been a long time fucking coming, but I do have a lot of moments where I'm like "but is this a breakthrough in my writing that I should feel uncomplicatedly happy about, or is this a troubling hypergraphia/mixed episode symptom thing that I shouldn't encourage?" Given that my brain bullshit usually doesn't have a fringe benefit, I'm reluctant to be totally down on it, but it is... a little concerning =/
#I also still added another 800-ish words even while editing on the pdf instead of a word processor#you'd be amazed how comments where you write new additions all add up crol#but yeah definitely was a good call#because it did make it *much harder* not to just focus on line and copy edits as opposed to adding whole new paragraphs

I hope you don't mind me asking. But how do you create PDF files that you can search through them? Your method is so unique, so I'm curious.
Hi anon!
After I scan a book and have a PDF saved, it can’t be searched. It has to be edited and made that way. So I open it up in Adobe Acrobat. There’s a tool called “Optimize PDF” which has a lot of different features you can fine tune the settings of but essentially what it does is:
Straighten out the text to be perfectly horizontal and level (I try to scan two pages at a time then crop, so raw scans can be a little wonky)
Recognizes the text on the page (which allows key word search, highlighting, commenting, everything you can do with a word document)
Reduces file size (I scan at 300 or 400 dpi, which makes a sharp image, but a huge file, so this compresses it to be easier to store and share)
I find this aspect of scanning to be very valuable, personally, as it can make researching and referring back much easier. Even though I’ve already read these books, searching through for a specific scene is vastly more efficient when you can pinpoint the exact sentence based on a remembered phrase. It’s also nice to be able to highlight those to emphasize a point. Furthermore by reducing the file size it’s much easier to share the information with others. I’m able to attach files to messages without going over limits and I can open the books right from the google drive mobile app wherever I go.
Like if I’m out and about wondering just how much Cherith Baldry loves Kay, I can crack open Exiled From Camelot and do this
2,387 mentions of Kay? Yeah. He’s kind of a big deal. ;^)
But real talk accessibility is an important aspect of my archival work. I try to provide the best version of a scan I can with my limited resources because I don’t know that the book will survive otherwise. Ruth PM Lehmann has passed away, so scanning Blessed Bastard, which only had a limited printing to begin with and now lacks a beneficiary, felt significant to me. The same goes for Peter Hanratty’s The Book of Mordred, which is an English translation of a German story and hasn’t been in print for decades. As for medlit, La Tavola Ritonda and my janky scanner tested my will to live but it ended up being so worth it to see everyone’s thoughts on it! I couldn’t find PDFs of these texts available anywhere, so I wanted to make sure they were preserved in the most accessible state possible for everyone to enjoy.
Anyway I hope that answers your question. I’ve got two books on the way I’m going to scan next and looking forward to sharing! :^) Take care.<3
