PDFescape is a new way to open and edit PDF files online. It allows you to open your PDF files on the web without downloading or installing any software. With PDFescape, you can fill in PDF forms, add text and graphics, add links, and even add new form fields to a PDF file. Best of all, it's Free*!
PDFescape allows you to upload your files directly to the server. There you can open them, make changes, fill in forms, and more. When you click the save button, your progress will be saved to the server, allowing you to come back and work on it more at any time. (Click graphic to enlarge)
If at any point you wish to download what you're working on as a PDF again, in the main interface, click the PDF button or hover over FILE and click Save as PDF. You will then be able to save and download the file again as a PDF, optionally also having it emailed to you.
You will be presented with two downloading options, *FREE and PREMIUM. Choosing the first will let you download the file as a PDF again at no charge, however a small PDFescape logo and link will be added to the file. Choosing the latter will not add the logo or link, however it will require that you have Premium Credits, which you can purchase from their website.
Here's a test document that I modified in PDFescape: Download pdfescape__sample_engagement_agreement_letter.pdf I tested out the ability to add text, a clickable check box, a hyperlinked signature, and a hypelinked URL.
If you are distributing files for others to fill out, you may wish to look into their webmaster tools, see http://www.pdfescape.com/pdf/webmasters There you will learn about linking files to PDFescape as well as publishing files to PDFescape. Publishing files to PDFescape allows you to upload files which others can fill out and download or submit to you WITHOUT requiring that they use or purchase Premium Credits. You also can customize the tools they will be allowed to use and other options.
