Your Questions Answered

All the answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact us with your question and we’ll help you out.

  • What happens when someone clicks a PDF Button?

    Clicking the PDF Button opens the document in our PDF Editor. This happens quickly and automatically, and your user won’t have to sign up for an account to use it. Once in the editor, a user can highlight and markup existing text, add notes and images, organize pages, eSign the document, and more. For users with a Pro plan, users can also fill in form fields and make additional edits to the PDF text. When they’ve finished, they can download a copy of their edited PDF directly. The original version of the PDF remains unchanged and available for other users to access through the PDF Button.


  • Why would I use the Smallpdf PDF Button?

    One of the most popular uses is for templates and forms. The PDF Button allows people to quickly and easily make a copy of a PDF, edit the necessary fields, and save a copy of the edited PDF. No need for you to email documents for them to complete. No more obnoxious downloads and third-party software required. It just makes PDFs easier.


  • Do my users or website visitors need to have Adobe Acrobat?

    Nope, not at all. Your site visitors and PDF Button clickers don’t need to sign up or download anything. The button opens the Smallpdf PDF Editor directly, with no extra software to download or hoops to jump through.


  • Can I change my Acrobat PDF Icon to Smallpdf’s PDF Button?

    Of course! For a better PDF Button experience for you and your users, simply go back to where you added the Acrobat PDF icon code into your website, and replace it with the new code from Smallpdf’s PDF Button tool. Just add the document URL above, get your code, and off you go.


  • Why is Smallpdf’s Button better than Acrobat’s Icon?

    When you embed an Acrobat PDF icon into your website, you’ll first need to download the Acrobat Reader to open documents. With the Smallpdf Button, you’re simply redirected to our PDF Editor tool online—no downloads, no signups, no hassles.
