Neat! Increased browser PDF support, and further minimizing my need to ever need to use predatory Adobe products for niche use cases, is always very welcomed.

The only thing i miss from macOS is preview&#x27;s ability to copy&#x2F;cut&#x2F;paste PDF pages.<p>It is way too convoluted anywhere else.

I recently discovered it and I love it, one place for you to fill forms and soft-sign them in one clean swoop. Works with interactive forms as well as flat ones(uses typewriter mode). Additionally, it allows you to free-hand scratch the document, to indicate to colleagues&#x2F;subordinates what you wished removed. This should be handy for doctors and other technical people on the go.. a sort of digital pad right in the ubiquitous browser. Keep them features coming mozilla, I&#x27;m also loving their containerized tab add-on

That&#x27;s great!<p>Does it add the text as comments, or as &quot;actual PDF content&quot;? Comments are fine in most cases (and always when printing the document for archaic ceremonies involving ink and paper signatures), but I&#x27;ve had a few cases where I&#x27;d wished there was an easy way to add &quot;actual text&quot; in Apple&#x27;s Preview.app.

PDF.js is great. I used to even use a chrome extension to use it in chrome back when I needed to use it. I think that extension hasn&#x27;t been kept up to date though.<p>I&#x27;m no longer concerned about exploits from sketchy PDFs.

&gt; Firefox can add text&#x2F;drawings to PDFs<p>But it cannot print a web page. And the pdf viewer is a usability disaster.

This isn&#x27;t new? I&#x27;ve been able to add text and draw on PDFs with FF for a long time.

I hope it has js api to also do it programmatically
