PDF Creation Content Options
Now that you know how to make a PDF document using PDFLiner, it’s time to explore some of the platform’s features.
Add Text
By clicking the Add Text button on the toolbar in the upper toolbar of the editor, you can place a text field anywhere in your document to type in PDF files. Just right-click the desired position for your text and start typing. When you are done, select OK in the text field’s menu. Please note that you can play with the font size, color, and other text parameters.

The same instrument can be used if you need to add page numbers to an existing form.
Add Lines
Now that you added text to your PDF you probably want to add lines to show the places where answers will be needed. To do that choose the Insert option on the toolbar and then pick the Add Liner tool. After that put the cursor where the line needs to start and drag the line to the end.

Highlight and Draw
If you are to annotate a PDF file as a reader or reviewer, select the Highlight drop-down menu on the toolbar to choose one of the three most common instruments used to get others’ attention when cooperating on a document.
Alternatively, you can use the Insert button to add doodles and symbols like bullet point marks to your document. This can be especially useful if you want to convert the PDF to JPEG later on.
Add a Signature
If you need to sign your PDF document online using an electronic signature, select the Add Sign option on the toolbar.
A screen will appear with multiple e-sign options to choose from that are both secure and legal. You can draw a signature by hand or insert an image file with a photo of your signature. As a returning user, you might also want to save your signature in case you need it later.
Add a Date
Click the Add Date button on the toolbar if you need a data field that uses the date format for convenience. This can be a time saver for those interested in filling in PDF forms online or creating ones for others to fill in.
Finally, you can use PDFliner to add watermarks to your files.
What to Do After Creating a PDF Document
As a registered user, you can save any PDF file you created for future use and editing. You can then access it via My Documents when logged into your account.
Alternatively, you might want to download it to your device. PDFLiner offers two download formats to choose from, PDF and JPEG, the latter being a common choice for image-like content.
If you need to send the resulting document to others, use the email or share option to spare yourself the downloading step and save time.
