Is there a way to annotate PDFs in iCloud web?
I'm using a Linux machine regularly and want to work on PDFs across platforms. I'm currently using Google drive with apps like Lumin but want to move away from it longterm.

Hey MinaOMina,
As stated in some of the other previous posts the only way to achieve what you are wanting as far as editing the pdf's would required a third party software, saving them locally onto your Linux machine, and uploading that to iCloud Drive. Unfortunately there isn't a way to edit those pdf documents directly in iCloud unless you have an Apple product to do it. You can make a request for that feature by leaving feedback for Apple at this link: Product Feedback.
Take care.
Hey MinaOMina,
In this case your only other option would be to consider a third-party application such as Acrobat by Adobe or another similar developer. You will be able to edit the PDF documents on both platforms but cannot use them in iCloud as mentioned in your original post.
Best Wishes.
Hey MinaOMina,
Thanks for posting your question about editing PDF's in Apple Support Communities! Currently there isn't a way to edit PDF documents directly in the web version of iCloud at this time, however you can edit them within the books app and save them in iCloud Drive along with your other iCloud files. You can find steps on how to do this in the article: Save and mark up PDFs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Books app.
You can also request that feature for iCloud by submitting feedback directly to Apple using the link: Product Feedback
Best wishes.
Hi SnickZ,
I was looking at third party apps (like they're offered for Google Drive) but they all seem to use their own storage and the service is extremely expensive for what I need. Adobe charges $15 a month, which is too much if I only want to underline text and maybe a text box here and there.
It would be nice if I could move my entire library onto iCloud and would be able to synch/save any changes without going broke over it.
Thank you chris_g1, but this is not what I'm looking for. This solution wouldn't be cross platform as I'm not able to work on the documents on Linux.
