PDF format is well-known for its non-editable properties, when using a free tool such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. You are not able to add, remove content or make any other changes to PDF documents. Softwares such as Adobe DC+ requires a subscription, but websites like PDFBear provide a PDF editor which lets people edit their PDF file freely. The editor is simple to use, but allows users to do basic functions such as: Highlighting, adding text and shapes as well as inserting images into their PDF.
