Edit the text of a PDF online

Click a paragraph and type. PDF Reword changes the text of the page itself instead of laying a white box over it, so the font, line breaks and layout stay as in the original.

How it works

How to edit text in a PDF

  1. Open the PDF

    Drop the file on this page or choose it. It opens in the editor in a few seconds, with every paragraph ready to edit.

  2. Click a paragraph and type

    Change words, fix a date, rewrite a sentence. Lines wrap to the width of the paragraph, and the blocks below move down when the text grows.

  3. Download the result

    Every change is saved as you go. Create a free account to download the edited PDF; only you can see the file.

What you get

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.

  • Styles for single words

    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.
