    What you can add to a PDF

    • Text: type anywhere on the page, choose its size and colour. Double-click it later to retype.
    • Pictures: a logo, a stamp or a photo, moved and resized with the mouse or your finger.
    • Shapes: rectangles, ellipses and lines to frame, highlight or point things out.
    • Freehand drawing: underline, circle, or write a quick note or signature.

    Choose Select and click anything you added to move it, resize it, change its colour or delete it. Undo reverts the last change.

    How do I change text that's already in the PDF?

    A PDF stores text as positioned letters, not as paragraphs, so existing text can't be retyped directly. The usual way: draw a white filled rectangle over the old words, then type the new text on top. Need to rework the whole document? Convert it with PDF to Word, edit it, and save it back as PDF.

    Edit PDF: questions and answers

    Can I change text that's already in the PDF?

    Not directly. Cover it with a white filled rectangle, then type new text on top.

    How do I change or remove something I added?

    Choose Select and click the item. Drag it to move it, use the corner handle to resize it, change its colour or size, or delete it. Double-click text to retype it. Undo reverts the last change.

    Which languages can I type in?

    Latin, Hindi, Greek and Cyrillic letters are embedded with the right font. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and some other scripts aren't supported in this tool yet.

    Can I fill in a form or sign?

    Yes. Use Text to fill in the fields and Draw to add a handwritten signature.

    Is it really free to edit a PDF?

    Yes. There's no signup, no watermark and no daily limit, and the file is edited in your browser.

    Does covering text with a white box remove it?

    No, the text is still in the file underneath. To remove private information for good, use Redact PDF.
