Good to know
Use Add text to type anywhere on a page, and Edit text to change words that are already there. Edited text is matched to the closest standard font (Helvetica, Times or Courier) and colour.
Edit text places your new wording over the original. The original stays in the file underneath, so for confidential information use a redaction tool rather than white-out or editing.
Scanned pages are pictures of text, so their words can't be edited directly. You can still add text, white-out, highlights and signatures on top.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a PDF typable?
Choose Add text, click anywhere on the page and type. For a form with boxes, use Fill PDF form; to add boxes others can type in, use Create fillable PDF.
How do I make a PDF editable?
Open it here: you can add text, change existing lines with Edit text, highlight, white out and sign. You don't need to convert it first.
Can I change the existing text in a PDF?
Yes. Choose Edit text, click a line and type. The new text is placed over the original in the closest matching font.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
You can add text, highlights, white-out and signatures to a scan, but its existing words are part of an image, so they can't be edited directly yet.
Does white-out remove the text underneath?
No. White-out hides content visually, but it stays in the file. Use Redact PDF to remove confidential information.
Which languages can I type in?
Text you add can use English and other Western European languages for now. Arabic and other scripts are coming soon.
Is my PDF uploaded?
