How to edit the text of a PDF
Add the PDF and go to the page you want to change.
Click a word to select it (or anywhere in a line), type your correction and press Enter. The page preview shows the real result.
Check which font each change uses in the list below the page, then press “Save PDF” and download the file.
Frequently asked questions
Will the new text look exactly like the old text?
When the PDF’s own font has every letter you type, that font is reused, so the change matches the rest of the line. If letters are missing (fonts are often stored with only the letters used), the closest bundled font is used, such as Liberation Sans for Arial or Liberation Serif for Times New Roman, and the list of changes says so.
Is the old text really gone?
Yes. The original letters are removed from the page, not covered, so copying, searching or PDF to text only finds the new text. Everything else on the page stays exactly as it was. In the rare cases where text can’t be changed in place, it is covered and redrawn instead, and the editor tells you.
What if my new text is longer?
Choose under the page: shrink it to fit the line, wrap it onto the next line, or let it run on past the original line end.
Why can’t I click the text on my page?
Scanned pages are pictures and contain no text to change. Run OCR PDF first, or use Annotate PDF to add new text on top.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. It even works with the internet switched off.
