FAQ
Questions and answers
Can Preview edit the text of a PDF?
It can add text boxes, notes and signatures, but not change the words already on the page.
Does it work on Apple silicon and Intel Macs?
Yes: it runs in the browser, so any Mac with a current Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge will do.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The editor opens in a browser tab.
Is it free?
Editing 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).
