Mozilla enounced with the newest firefox version a functionality which should allow to edit PDF - documents, which would reduce the printing of the PDFs. With the firefox version update a Test - PDF is enclosed for testing this. I tried it but i could not e.g. fill the PDF - fields.

Hi Markus, if you have Firefox's PDF handling set to "Open in Firefox", then the tools are on the right end of the viewer's toolbar. This article has a lot of info on the viewer:

Hi Helmut, Firefox has some annotation features, which you will find on the PDF viewer toolbar toward the right end. But I don't think Firefox can edit the text/images in the PDF. Maybe I missed an announcement. Can you link to it?

Hello.
Indeed, it is only possible for the moment, to add text in color + font size, and to draw/write freehand. As far as modification is concerned, this is not yet relevant but personally, I would like it to be added soon so that it acts as a complete PDF editor, like those of competitors on the market.

Bonjour.
En effet, il n'est possible uniquement pour le moment, de rajouter du texte en couleur + taille de police, et de dessiner/écrire à main levée.
Pour ce qui concerne la modification, cela n'est pas encore d'actualité mais personnellement, j'aimerais bien que cela soit ajouté prochainement pour que cela fasse comme un éditeur PDF complet, comme ceux des concurrents du marché.

Hi Alan,
can you tell us where to find this option? I clicked, downloaded the file but modification will be done by Apple's preview.
Thanks
Markus

Hi, i looked at the documentation and there is the following noted:
"Some PDF files (e.g. forms) contain interactive fields. With the PDF viewer integrated in Firefox, you can fill in or select these fields (text fields, checkboxes or radio buttons)."
Will see, whether it works ....
Thanks and best regards Helmut

J'aimerai avoir la possibilité d'imprimer les PDF avec une option : économiser de l'encre ou du toner (jusqu'à 15%) comme dans l'application native d'Adobe.

the smoothing effect make checking boxes look weird and curvy. I'd like to save powerpoints to pdfs 2perpage so that there are two slides on a portrait page the right way up so I can read it and use the printout feature in microsoft onenote. but right now it can't do that, the 2 per page is not useful the way they're orientated right now whereas microsoft edge's pdf printing is able to do it

I really like to able to edit a pdf file. However I've recently been made aware that if you print the pdf after you insert information not already in the form,the information you inserted will not print.

Maybe it varies from one form to another? What if you test using something like
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf
Does Firefox print that with the entered data (you only need to print page 1).
