How to edit text in a PDF

Real text editing, not a patch on top
The document’s own font
New words are set in the font embedded in the file. If it lacks a letter you type, the editor picks the closest font and tells you before saving.

Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript and subscript; sizes from 4 to 144 pt.
Text that can be found
The edited text stays text: it can be searched and copied, and no old words hide under a box.
History and undo
Undo and redo any change, see the list of edits, and go back to an earlier version of the document.
FAQ
Questions and answers
Can I edit the text of a scanned PDF?
Not as text: a scan is a picture of a page. The editor can recognize it so the document can be searched and copied, but recognized text is not editable. You can add new text on top with the Add text tool.
Will the edited text look the same as the rest?
Yes, when the embedded font has the letters you need: the paragraph is set again in that font. If a letter is missing, a similar font is used for that paragraph and the editor says so.
Is it free?
Yes. Editing needs no account. Downloading the result needs a free account, so that only you see the file.
What happens to a document’s digital signature?
Any edit makes a digital signature invalid. The editor warns you and asks you to confirm before changing a signed document.
