Edit PDF text

Click the text and retype it - a misspelled name, a wrong date, an old address, a whole sentence. The paragraph flows again as you type, and the document's own font does the writing wherever it can, so the correction looks like the text around it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really change the text inside a PDF?

Yes. Click the text and retype it; its paragraph opens as a box and flows again as you type. The file's own font is used wherever it contains the needed letters, so the correction looks like the text around it. Where it does not, a matching embedded font steps in and the tool tells you.

Does the rest of the page move?

No. The paragraph you edit is set again in its own place, at its own line spacing, and the rest of the page stays exactly where it was. If it grows into the text below it, the box turns red and the tool can shrink it to fit - or you can make the box wider with its side handles.

Is the document uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded: the file is opened and processed inside your browser and never leaves your device. Close the tab and it is gone.

Can I edit the text in a scanned document?

No - a scan is a picture of a page, and there is no text to retype. OCR can add a searchable layer under it, but the letters you see stay part of the image. To change what such a page shows, cover the spot with the Edit tool or remove it with Redact.

Can I correct the same word everywhere at once?

Yes - find and replace does the same edit on every matching line, with a whole-word option so "art" does not change "start". The count on the button is exactly what the button will change, and every correction is listed so you can jump to it and check.

Can I use a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a photo, instead of a PDF?

Yes. Drop in a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx file or an image (JPG, PNG, WebP...) and it is turned into a PDF in your browser as it arrives - an image onto an A4 page - then handled like any other PDF; nothing is uploaded. The conversion is our own, so the result can differ slightly from Office's own PDF export: a font may be substituted and charts are left out. The file list shows a warning when something couldn't be carried over.
