How it works

How to change the font in a PDF

  1. Open the PDF

    Drop the file here or choose it. The editor opens with every paragraph ready to edit.

  2. Click the paragraph

    The bar above it shows the font, the size and the color. Select some words to change only those.

  3. Choose and download

    Pick the paragraph’s own font or one like Times New Roman, Arial, Arial Narrow, Calibri, Cambria, Georgia, Courier New or Comic Sans. Download the PDF with a Week Pass or Pro.

What you get

Type that fits the page

  • A paragraph or a few words

    Change the whole paragraph, or select words and give them their own size, color or style.

  • Styles

    Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript and subscript.

  • The original stays an option

    Original keeps the font embedded in the file, and undo brings back what was there.

  • Lines rewrap

    A larger size rewraps the paragraph to its width, and the blocks below move down to make room.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Which fonts can I choose?

The paragraph’s own font and eight bundled ones, each as wide as the font it resembles: Liberation Serif, Sans and Mono (Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New), Reword Sans Narrow (Arial Narrow), Carlito (Calibri), Caladea (Cambria), Gelasio (Georgia) and Comic Relief (Comic Sans). Caladea and Gelasio have Latin letters only.

Can I change the color of text?

Yes: the color of a whole paragraph or of the words you select.

Does it work on a scan?

No: a scan is a picture with no fonts to change. Text you add with the Add text tool has its own font, size and color.

Is it free?

Changing fonts is free and needs no account. Downloading, printing or exporting the result needs a Week Pass ($6 for 7 days, no auto-renewal) or Pro ($12 a month or $96 a year).
