3 Zoho PDF Editor Features That Replace Paid Tools

Why are you still paying for PDF tools when Zoho already has one built in?

And the best part? It comes with some powerful features that rival tools like Adobe Acrobat and DocHub.

Watch Our Take on Zoho's PDF Editor

What is Zoho PDF Editor?

Zoho PDF Editor is a browser-based tool that’s built into the Zoho ecosystem. It lets you:
  • Fill out and sign documents
  • Add annotations and comments
  • Lock files with passwords
  • Insert stamps and watermarks
  • Collaborate and store securely with Zoho WorkDrive

Whether you’re working on contracts, internal approvals, onboarding docs, or NDAs, this tool gives you everything you need—without ever leaving your browser.

Feature #1: Fillable Fields & Signatures

Turn any PDF into a smart form. With just a few clicks, you can add:
  • Text fields
  • Dropdowns
  • Checkboxes
  • Signature blocks

Perfect for contracts, HR documents, internal approvals, or any PDF that needs to be filled out and sent back. You can even integrate this with Zoho Sign to collect e-signatures in minutes.

Feature #2: Add Password Protection

Secure your files before you send them. Need to send sensitive data or restrict access? Zoho PDF Editor lets you apply password protection right inside the editor. There’s no need to upload your file to a third-party tool or install a plugin—just click, lock, and send.

It’s ideal for confidential documents, proposals, or anything containing personal or financial information.

Feature #3: Automatic Watermarks

Keep internal docs marked and managed. Whether it’s a draft, confidential document, or internal-only file, you can add a custom watermark directly in Zoho PDF Editor.

Even better: you can automate this when using Zoho Sign or Zoho WorkDrive—so your PDFs are consistently labeled without manual effort. This is especially helpful for agencies, legal teams, or businesses with strict version control.

Stop Paying for PDF Tools You Don’t Need

Zoho PDF Editor gives you everything you need to manage business documents—and it’s already part of your Zoho One toolkit.
