Edit PDF: change the text directly
A wrong date, an old amount, a typo: click the line, rewrite it, done. The old text is really replaced, not just covered.

How it works
- Drop the PDF in. It opens in your browser and every line of text can be clicked.
- Click a line and rewrite it; adjust font, size, bold, italic and color at the top. The cross on the left moves the line, the dot on the right resizes it, the bin deletes it. For new text, choose “Add text” and tap the spot.
- “Save”: you get the changed PDF with proof of which places changed, to download or keep working on.
Frequently asked questions
Is the old text really removed?
Yes. The old text is taken out of the page and the new text is written in its place. After saving we check this in the saved file and show it: “3 places changed · old text really removed”. Many simple tools only put a white box on top; we do not.
Which fonts are there?
20 free fonts, each shown in the menu in its own lettering. Office fonts get a free font of the same width: Carlito for Calibri, Caladea for Cambria, Gelasio for Georgia, DejaVu Sans for Verdana, DejaVu Sans Condensed for Tahoma, DejaVu Sans Mono for Consolas, Questrial for Century Gothic, Anton for Impact; Helvetica, Times and Courier stand for Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New. A line opens in the matching font, so it keeps its length.
Why not the original font?
The font inside a PDF usually holds only the letters the document uses; new letters are missing. Office fonts such as Calibri may not be shipped. So we write with a free font of the same width. The difference is hard to see.
How do I add new text?
Choose “Add text” and tap the spot on the page where the text should go; you can type right away. Esc cancels, Enter places the line in the middle of the visible part of the page. You place items the same way in “Sign PDF” and “Annotate PDF”: choose the tool, then tap the spot.
Can I add or delete pages, or insert another PDF?
Yes. Above the page thumbnails: a blank page after, duplicate, delete the page, insert a PDF or picture after it. “Arrange pages” opens all pages to move, rotate, duplicate and delete them. Your text changes stay, and “Undo” also takes back a page change.
Can I replace a word in the whole PDF?
Yes, with “Find and replace”: for example an old company name or address on every page. You first see each line with the old and the new text and untick what should stay.
How do I turn an old invoice into the next one?
With “Next invoice”: the invoice number goes up by one, the invoice date becomes today, all other dates move by the same number of days (the payment term keeps its length), amounts are cleared. Every change is listed first for you to check.
Does the text reflow if I write more?
No. A PDF is not a word-processor file: every line stays where it is. If a line gets longer than the free space, we show it, and you can shorten it, make it smaller or move it.
Does my file leave my computer?
No. The PDF is opened, edited and saved in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. A font is only loaded when you use it.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. A scan is only an image at first; the editor then offers “Recognize text” (in your browser, free). After that you change a line as usual: it is covered in the paper’s color and written anew in a font that matches the scan (typewriter text in Courier, bold and italic as before); the rest stays the scan. With more than 20 scanned pages (10 on a phone) the editor leads to “OCR PDF”; for poor scans it also offers “Precise” where that is switched on.
What about signed PDFs?
Any change makes a digital signature invalid. We tell you before you change a signed PDF.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Whatever runs in the browser is always free and needs no account: changing text, fonts, pages, find and replace, next invoice.

How the handover works →What “Edit PDF” does
A quote with the wrong date, an invoice with an old amount, a form with a typo: with “Edit PDF” you change the text directly in the PDF. Every line can be clicked; you rewrite it, change font, size, style and color, move a line, delete it or put a new one anywhere with “Add text”. What you see is the result.
Replaced, not covered – with proof
The old text is taken out of the page. It can no longer be copied, searched or made visible again. That is the difference to a white box lying on top. After saving you see which places changed, and that the old text no longer occurs in the saved file.
For recurring work
“Find and replace” changes a name, an address or bank details on every page in one step. “Next invoice” turns the last invoice into the next one: new number, today’s date, amounts empty. You add, delete, duplicate, rotate or arrange pages right in the editor and append another PDF.
Limits
A PDF has no paragraphs that reflow: each line stands on its own. If a text gets longer than the space up to the next block, we show it while you type. Scanned pages have no text at first; “Recognize text” lays it over them, then they can be changed.
