If you are looking for a PDF editor that allows your users to review and edit documents, jPDFEditor might just be the solution you need. Developed by Qoppa, this software is based on proprietary PDF technology and doesn't require any third party programs or client installation. It's a self-contained Java component that can be easily deployed within a Java or web application as an applet or a Java webstart application.

One of the most significant advantages of jPDFEditor is its cross-platform compatibility, meaning that your application can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Unix without any issues. Additionally, the software can load files from various sources, including local or network drives, URLs, and Java input streams, allowing you to access and edit documents from different sources.

Furthermore, jPDFEditor comes with redaction features that allow users to permanently remove sensitive information from their PDF documents. This feature lets users add redaction annotations to cover an area on a page and then burn the annotations to remove the underlying content.

What's more, jPDFEditor also supports all the annotating and form filling features found in jPDFNotes, making it a versatile tool for PDF editing. If you are proficient with Java, jPDFEditor also comes packaged with Qoppa's jPDFProcess library which provides access to a rich API to further manipulate PDF documents programmatically.
