Uh hello guys, in this video I'll show

you I built out a Adobe Acrobat PDF
0:06
editor clone to actually edit your PDF
0:09
files directly in browser. This is the
0:12
full uh interface of the application. I
0:15

structure. It's using these two PDF lib
0:47

0:53
running this application locally as

1:08
the basic controls here to annotate
1:10
anything. You basically choose the color
1:14
and you can simply annotate,
1:17
highlight anything. Once you make the
1:20
change, click on save. You also have
1:22
ability to actually add text.

1:36
accordingly wherever and then click on
1:39
