I opened a new window and dragged a PDF into it. While the icons in the upper right do not include Edit, I just went to the field I needed to change (an alarm permit renewal, change of email). A box opened "somewhat" over where I clicked, and I was able to enter the new email, but I could not delete the old one. After saving and opening in Acrobat, both emails are written over each other, making both unreadable.

I cannot highlight my old email in the original form in order to select Delete. When I type my new one, a trash can appears, but that is for deleting what I just entered.

Hi ChrisG, Firefox's PDF edit tools are for adding various types of annotations. There isn't a tool for removing data from the underlying PDF, unless it is interactive form field data, which you should be able to modify normally without calling up editing tools.

Looks like it does in limited ways.

How is this a Firefox browser issue? Firefox browser can't edit pdf files unless it has fill in boxes.

Thanks, James. That first link says to select Text then where in the doc, but it will not replace anything already in the field. I see no way to delete. For my case, the form contains last year's info, and I need to give them a new email address.

So it seems the pdf edit is still not fully functional? There is no way to delete text already there?

Thanks. The message when I upgraded to V135 was something like, "Now you can edit your PDFs from within Firefox," with no qualifiers. Edit suggests cut, copy, paste, etc.
