PDF Editor for Journalists
A story drops at 6 AM and you still need a source's name gone from every leaked page. If you work as one of the journalists, you have been there. Confileo's PDF Editor tool lets you add text, images and annotations directly onto a PDF — free, in your browser, with your files deleted automatically the moment you are done.
