Frequently Asked Questions

How do I edit text in a PDF?

Upload your PDF, select the Edit Text tool, and click on the text you want to modify. An editor appears letting you change the content.

Can I edit any PDF?

Text editing works best on PDFs created digitally (from Word, HTML, etc.). Scanned documents don't have editable text layers.

Will the font match the original?

We use common fonts that closely match most document fonts. For standard business documents, edits blend in naturally.

Can I delete text entirely?

Yes, select the text and delete it completely. For larger sections, you might want to use our redaction tool.

Is there a limit to how much I can edit?

You can make as many edits as needed. However, for major rewrites, editing the original source file may be better.

Can I change text formatting?

Basic formatting like bold and italic can be applied. Font size changes are limited to maintain document layout.

Why can't I edit some text?

Some PDFs have text rendered as images or use embedded fonts not available for editing. Scanned PDFs also can't be text-edited.

Will edits be visible to others?

Edits become part of the PDF content. Others won't see that changes were made - it looks like the original document.

Can I undo changes?

Yes, use undo while editing or reload the original PDF to start fresh. Keep a backup of important documents.

Is my document stored on your servers?

No, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDFs never leave your device.
