Paperless document management just got easier—with the Smallpdf Mobile App’s new PDF Editor Tool.

The Smallpdf Mobile App has become a well-loved companion for the movers and shakers, the busy bees, and the lazy bones among us. Anyone who’s looking for document management software to use at the office, working remotely, on the go, or even on the couch has found an easy and practical solution to their problems. Get your phones out, kids, because the Smallpdf Mobile App team has developed a top-notch PDF Editor Tool with cool new features you need to know about.

Organize PDF Pages Like a Pro

 

No more document chaos, just a place for everything and everything in its place. The Smallpdf Mobile App PDF Editor Tool gives you the freedom to organize your PDFs with just a few taps. With the new PDF Editor Tool, you can reorder, rotate, delete pages, and even add blank pages to your PDF document.

The feature also comes with “Undo and Redo” action options, so you can manage changes to your document confidently, without fear of mistakes.

Light It up with Highlight Text

 

Highlighted text is not only handy for studying or picking out key points from a work memo. It’s also extremely useful when sharing documents with others, saving them the time and hassle of looking for important keywords or phrases, where to sign, or what to comment on.

The Smallpdf Mobile App’s new PDF Editor Tool also comes with a flexible feature to make highlighting text on mobile child’s play. With the text highlighting feature, you can choose between traditional highlighting, where you select text prior to highlighting or free-hand highlighting, for a seamless, more immediate highlighting experience.

You also have the option to use free-hand highlighting

Both highlighting methods come with the option to choose from a palette of highlighter colors. When you choose the free-hand highlighter, you can also select a highlighter thickness, so your text is put in the spotlight just how you like it. The highlight text function also has “Undo/Redo” action options. Made a mistake? No problem. You can manage your changes quickly and easily.

Add Text to PDFs

 

With the Add Text feature, you get to make your mark on your PDFs with none of the usual fuss. Think easy notes for studying, important document references for colleagues, or helpful messages for mom. You can even change the text color and set the size to your liking. And of course, you can always undo or redo any of your actions, so there’s no room for mistakes. You're welcome!

Be the Picasso of PDFs With the Draw Tool

 

Fancy yourself a doodler? Look no further. With the Smallpdf Mobile App's Draw feature, every PDF is your canvas. You can choose between a pen and a marker to bring the scribbles, wonky lines, and beautiful stick people onto your PDF. Naturally, you have a wide range of color and sizing options for your creations. ”Undo/Redo” helps you get your drawing just right, but we know you won't need that.
