SelmaTeacher7 Mr. Berry here. Today I want to show you how to edit pdf documents on your
Chromebook or on your windows computer without having adobe acrobat reader on your computer
and how to do it for free now these steps will work on any of the computers that you may have
such as Macintosh windows or even on your Chromebook and I'm going to take you step by
step to how to do it but before we get into the lesson i would like to remind everyone that if
you're new to here please subscribe to my channel and thumbs up if you like the content also i love
to read your comments so let's get into the lesson so the first thing you want to do is open up your
web browser go up the very top of the url address box and then click there and then type in small
pdf.com now the link to that down a description you can click there to go straight to it
and you'll load your pdf editor here now this is a free editor and you are able
to log on or log in if you need to but we're not going to do that nor are we going to be using this
install small pdf chrome extension so don't do that don't need it so just go ahead and
click that off and basically with the free version you're allowed to edit two pdf documents and save
them or email them per day the next question that comes up is well is this site secure
if you look at the url address box you'll notice that there is a padlock there before the name
now this basically tells you that your data is secure and safe so the safety of your data is 100
guaranteed thanks to advanced level security both their website and the file transfers have state
of the art ssl encryption in place so basically all your data is being scrambled so only you can
see it I'm only showcasing the free version here I'm not going to be clicking on any of the login
or any of their downloads I'm only going to be choosing choose file and then I'm going to be
uploading my particular pdf one of the limitations with the free version is you can only do
two pdf documents per day well if that's the limitation you can go for the free trial
or log in that way there again this is just the free one there so I'm going to do is I'm
going to ignore their advertisements and click on choose file so I click there it opens up to your
files app your pdf documents should be in your downloads folder I'm going to choose one here
and once you click on one you notice over here on the right hand side it shows you a preview
to make sure that you're opening up the correct pdf document which is kind of a nice feature and
once you're satisfied that you have the right one click on open and then it opens up into your
page there now there's two different views that you have with these tools it's the same tools
but they draw the tools a little bit differently depending on which version opens up on your screen
what I'm going to do is if you want to add text go ahead and just click on add text there and it
drops down a text box and so I'm going to type in smith now I click outside of it and then I click
in the box and I can drag that text wherever I need to be I need another text we'll just click
on the t again you can move it to where you want to beforehand click there and then type
in your name or whatever you need to be added in there let's do it again so let's add text
and this time let's do it for the birth date so we're going to go in and I'm going to
type in a birth date there and once I have the text I can simply drag it up to where I need to be
and so that's your text tool now for these other things you can do be doing the exact
same thing over and over again for each of these spaces now if you're working with a pdf form you
don't have to go in and add each text you simply click in the box and begin typing
but that would be a pdf form well what we're working with here is a pdf document you need
to go down and notice it says signature well you have the draw tool so you click on the draw tool
you can choose the size there is a way to change the color as well
and then you simply draw what you want in there so there we go so there's the john smith
and in today's date there let's put some date in there all right now once you're done drawing you
can click on done okay the next thing I want to show you is let's say we wanted to add a shape
go ahead and click on the shape here and we'll just choose a little arrow and you can
choose different colors so let's say I wanted a black arrow and then I can drag that around
and choose an option there so that that's pretty easy to do
next is the image so if I want to add an image all you got to do is click on add image
and then find your images that you want to use so we'll go in
and we'll choose this Unimog here you can resize the images by dragging the corner squares to the
center to make them smaller and then you drag the center of the image to where you want to place
it and then you let go of the mouse click all right so you can work with images if you don't
want the image just go ahead and click on the x that takes it off same is true with any shapes
any drawing you can always just click on the x and that will remove it for you and even
the text can be done that way too now you are able to copy and paste text into here
and you do that by highlighting it and then going ctrl c and then going back to this editor doing
the shortcut ctrl v as in victor and now copy and paste that email or other text right into the box
now once you have everything done that you want to do
you can click on the finish button which is found in the lower right hand corner
so you click that button there and then you're going to be seeing that you have a preview screen
we can go in and kind of look up and down and make sure everything is done and completed
all of your signatures are in once you know that it's perfect click on the blue download button
it will then download down to your hard drive where you then be able to email to others
next I'm going to show you another way that your pdf editor will actually look like and this is
usually the one that i usually see so let me open up that one now so for this I'm going to open up a
new blank tab and type in small pdf up in the url address box and then in the center I'm going to
click on choose file it opens up to my hard drive and I'm going to find my pdf documents there and
this time I'm going to choose a form so I'm going to be using a fillable supplemental time sheet
click on open and it uploads the document there now the tools you'll notice up in the corner
they're the same tools but they have slightly different appearance up there and it's kind of
nice because with this with the forms you don't actually have to use the tools you can just simply
click in the document and can begin typing so there you just click on the employee's name I'm
going to type in john smith i want to click on the social security number and put a number in there
and you can click in anywhere and begin typing so you'd have to go back and forth to the text
and back to the document and do this you just simply click where you want the text to be begin
typing so it's much quicker this way now if you want to add a signature all you have to do is go
up to the tools and then click on the drawing tool now right away you notice at the top you
have this red dot click it and you have different colors to choose from I'm going to choose black
simply hold your mouse clicker down and then type in or draw in the name that you want there you can
even write in other things there such as the date then once you're done click on the done button
now these tools that you have here the very next one is the highlight
I'm going to be using the freehand highlighter so i click that one and then anything i drag
my mouse across will actually highlight in that color at the very top you notice that you have a
orange dot go ahead and choose any color that you want to next I'm going to be using the text tool
now with text tool you can click anywhere in the document and begin adding text it doesn't
have to be in one of the squares so for this i think I'll go ahead and type in ado school since
i work for the adult school at Selma and also for kings canyon unified school district notice
that you can change the color there to any color just as you did with the other text and the next
tool that we want to look at is the insert shape tool notice we can do a rectangle ellipse line
or even an arrow so I'm going to select on arrow and then i can drag it to where i want it to be
and once I have that i can change the color I'll change the blue i can change
the thickness of the line if I don't like it I can click on the shape there to reshape it
and if i don't want it at all i can click on the trash can and it goes away entirely
next is the insert image click it and you're greeted with your images there on your hard drive
I'm going to choose a Unimog there you click there where you want to be and then you drag the corner
squares to the center to make it smaller and then drag it to where you want it to be and you let go
so now you've edited the pdf document you can check and make sure that everything is correct
the way that you want it to be we've gone over the tools here now when you're done simply click
on the blue download button you'll download the pdf down to your hard drive where then you'll be
able to email it out so hopefully you've learned a new skill that you can use your computer with
