Edit PDF in sharepoint online

Dear community, I am trying to edit pdfs stored in a document library on sharepoint with no success. Is this possible at all to do? Regards!

Hey Everyone - just letting you know Adobe now has a version of Acrobat that connects to your SharePoint Online/Azure subscription as an Enterprise App. You'll need your O365 Admin to install it but once installed it allows Annotation of PDFs inside the browser for PDFs stored on your SharePoint Online site.

Find more info here:
https://documentcloud.adobe.com/o365pdf/start.html

Opening PDFs seems to go through the documentcloud.adobe.com and is a little slower than browser supported viewing of PDFs but the annotation in browser editing is worth it IMHO.

SteveMartin thanks for the link, but, Acrobat wants another $16/month per seat for this benefit. We already have a PDF editing tool but we are being blocked from using it on the 365 platform (not sure blocked is the right term but you get the idea). PDF format is an open language and we should be able to use the tools we already have to provide this functionality.
