About this tool
What is PDF Text Editor?
PDF Text Editor lets you change a PDF without going back to the original Word file. You can edit existing text, drop in new text boxes, cover content with a white box, place an image such as a signature or logo, and draw freehand notes. It is handy when a deadline is close and the source document is gone.
Useful when you need to
- Fix a typo or a wrong roll number in a PDF you already exported
- Add a text box to a form that has no fillable fields
- Cover out personal details before sharing a scanned page
- Annotate a worksheet or question paper by hand
How to use
How to use PDF Text Editor
01 02 Pick an editing tool
Select a tool from the toolbar: edit text, add a text box, whiteout, add an image, or draw. Click on the page where the change should go.
03 Make your changes
Type over existing text or place new content. Use the properties panel to adjust font, size and position until it matches the page.
04 Check every page
Scroll through the thumbnails and confirm nothing has shifted. Fonts that are not embedded in the original can look slightly different.
05 Export
Download the edited PDF. Keep your original file too, in case you need to start again.
Tips
Get better results
- Edit text in small pieces. Large rewrites are better done in the original Word or Google Docs file.
- Whiteout hides content visually on the page. If you are redacting something sensitive, flatten the result by exporting, then confirm the hidden text cannot be selected in a PDF viewer.
- Zoom in before exporting to check alignment of edited lines against their neighbours.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Scanned pages are pictures, not text, so you cannot edit the words directly. You can still cover areas with whiteout, add text boxes on top, or draw.
Will the original formatting be kept?
Pages you do not touch stay as they are. Edited lines may look slightly different if the original font is not available in your browser.
Is there a page limit?
Very large PDFs can be slow in a browser tab. If the editor struggles, split the file first and edit the pages you need.
