Hi @Pennywren,
Welcome to the DocuSign Community!
We are glad to have you here and can't wait to help share as much knowledge as possible.
I understand that you are looking to edit your document prior to its upload to DocuSign, and I will share more details on the topic.
DocuSign eSignature is incompatible with document editing. Because of this reason any editing of the document must happen before it is uploaded into your envelope.
For detailed steps on how to apply the fields included in your PDF as DocuSign fields, see:
Send a PDF with Form Fields
Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this.
Thank you for using DocuSign, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
Best regards,
