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!
Well,
To do that, the only thing you can do (unless there is a browser Plugin that allows to do it) is to download the PDF file, edit it in your local PC and upload it again to the document librar. As an alternative to download the PDF file, you can sync to your PC using OneDrive For Business Sync Client and just edit the file using your PDF reader.
Microsoft and Adobe are working hard to have a better integration of Adobe in Office 365, so we can expect improvements in PDF documents edition in Office 365 in the future

any updates on this adobe Microsoft improvement?
For those hoping to see Acrobat at least be able to browse SharePoint so that you can open from/save to, there's a fundamental problem with that: Acrobat still doesn't support modern authentication, believe it or not:

So, if you "Apps that don't use modern authentication" blocked in your SPO Admin settings, as you should (but many probably still don't), when you go to add a SharePoint site to Acrobat it'll just sit there and not do it, leaving you confused. It's a sad state of affairs.
