<title>Can I edit documents in the document viewer?</title>


 <p>
  Atril can't be used to make changes to documents. You need to use the appropriate editing application for the type of file you want to change.

<note>
 <p>
 PDF and PostScript (.ps) files are not usually intended to be edited, but PDF editing software is available. Try
 <app>LibreOffice Draw</app> or <app>Okular</app>, for example.
 Furthermore, <app>pdfarranger</app> allows rearranging or removing pages and merging files.
