# Edit PDFs in MAUI

Nutrient offers the ability to edit PDF documents directly in a MAUI app. It features a beautiful user interface (UI) for performing a host of editing operations, as well as access to JavaScript APIs for programmatic editing.

These APIs will be further enhanced and translated into native APIs in future updates.

## Key capabilities

- **Annotations, signatures, bookmarks** — Create, edit, or remove

- **Page manipulation** — Rotate, merge, delete, or add pages

- **Dynamic watermarks** — Protect content from unauthorized use

- **Client-side** — Edit PDFs directly in the app (no server needed)

- **Customizable UI** — Hide buttons, match your look and feel, and more

- **Extendable** — Add signing, annotation, redaction, and more

## PDF editing using the UI

The document editor tool is, by default, located on the right side of the main toolbar. After selecting the tool, the document editor window, which contains all the editing operations, will pop up.![Document editor tool](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/document-editor-tool.png)

### Merging documents![Import Document button](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/merge-docs.png)

To merge documents, first open the document you want to merge other documents into. Then, click **Import Document** in the document editor window and select the document(s) to be merged with the currently open document. Once you’ve imported all the documents you want to merge, click **Save** or **Save As** to merge the documents into one document.![Import Document to be merged](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/select-docs-to-merge.png)

### Adding, duplicating, or deleting pages

To add, duplicate, or delete pages, select the pages to you want to apply an operation to. Then click the corresponding button — **New Page**, **Duplicate**, or **Delete Pages** — in the document editor window to perform the required operation. Once you’ve finished adding, duplicating, or deleting, click **Save** or **Save As** to complete the operation.![New Page, Duplicate, or Delete Pages](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/select-pages.png)

### Rotating pages

To rotate pages, select the pages to you want to rotate and click **Rotate Right** or **Rotate Left** to perform the required operation. Note that you’re only able to rotate pages in 90-degree increments. Once you’ve rotated your pages, click **Save** or **Save As** to apply the changes.![Rotate Pages](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/rotate-pages.png)

### Moving or rearranging pages

To move or rearrange pages, select the pages to you want to move and click the **Move**, **Move Before**, or **Move After** button in the document editor window to perform the required operation. When selecting **Move**, you’ll need to specify where in the document the pages should be moved. Once you’re done moving or rearranging pages, click **Save** or **Save As** to apply the changes.![Move or Rearrange Pages](@/assets/guides/maui/document-editor/move-pages.png)

## PDF editing programmatically

The MAUI viewer APIs for editing PDFs are identical to those for our Web viewer. To edit PDFs in your MAUI application programmatically, refer to the Nutrient Web SDK [PDF editing documentation](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/web/editor.md). And if you’d like to bridge these APIs with your MAUI app, use our guide that explains [how to bridge web APIs](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/maui/advanced-access-apis.md).
