Extra PDF Edit Ideas

ampbjorn — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 22:54:54 GMT

Good Day,

It would be great to have a slightly more feature rich PDF editor inside firefox. These are the features that would really stand out:

Insert Signature (allow us to sign documents with either a saved image or handwritten font). It would be awesome if the signature could be synced across devices with firefox sync.
Text editing font size. The text feature is great but maybe font selection (8, 10, 11, 12 etc) rather than a slider.
Basic shapes (square, circle, cross, tick)
Extended highlight tool. Allow underline and strikeout as well as coloured highlight.
PDF comments - a lot of documents have comments and callouts which cant be viewed/added in firefox as of currently. (altium and kicad pdf files also have attributes associated with certain regions. at the moment only adobe pdf can show these).

Thank you

@ampbjorn thanks for the feedback and suggestions. And heads up, a few of these have already been suggested here:

If you want to submit any of your other suggestions to the Ideas board, be sure to submit them individually so they each get the proper attention (comments, votes)—see the .

Hope this helps!

Though comment,signature,highligh...t has been added , i have been facing difficulties with highlight button,when i highlight something the dropdown box (showing highlight color and thickness )remains there covering some portion of my text ,which seems irritating ,please fix it ,it should not be there(from my idea, when the cursor is removed from the highlight button, the dropdown should also get hidden and when clicked it should show the dropdown )though i am not a specialist but i think that should be enhanced
