Editor vs. the Specialist Tools
The PDF Editor can technically do a lot, sign, redact, annotate, but a few of those jobs also have a dedicated tool built specifically for them, with more control than the general editor offers. Here's when to reach for which:
Use the Editor for one-off signatures on a document you're editing anyway. Use Sign PDF instead when signing is the actual task, especially for contracts or forms where a tracked, verifiable signature matters more than a quick drawn one.
Use the Editor's eraser for cosmetic cleanup, covering a stray mark or an old note. Use Redact PDF when the goal is permanently removing sensitive information before sharing, since redaction needs to strip the underlying content, not just visually cover it.
For everything else, adding text, inserting images, rotating or reordering pages, the Editor is the right and only tool, there's no separate dedicated page for those actions, so there's nothing to second-guess there.
A common workflow: edit and finalize the content here, then run the result through Compress PDF if the file size grew from added images, before sending it out.
