Edit the text in a PDF
Click any line of a PDF and change the words. The new text uses the PDF's own font whenever it can, and the old words are really removed.
Pick a tool, then tap the page. Drag to move; use the corner handle to resize.
Edited on your device. Whiteout only covers; use Redact to delete text from the file.
How did PDF editor work for you?
Please don't include personal details. Your files are never sent with a review.
Thanks! We read every review, and it shapes what we build next.
Real text editing, not a white box
Most free editors hide the old words under a white rectangle and type on top, so the original text is still in the file and still shows up when someone copies or searches it. Here the old letters are taken out of the page itself, and the rest of the line stays exactly where it was.
How the font is kept
PDFs usually carry only the letters they use from each font. When every letter you type already exists in that font, your edit uses it, so it matches perfectly. If a letter is missing, the closest match is used instead: Carlito for Calibri, Caladea for Cambria, the standard Helvetica, Times or Courier for their look-alikes, and Noto for Indian scripts. The editor tells you which it used.
What can be edited
Text made by Word, Google Docs, browsers, billing software and most PDF makers can be edited line by line. Scanned pages are pictures of text, so run OCR on them first; then you can change the scanned words too. Find and replace works across the whole document.
Your documents, not official ones
Use it for documents you wrote or are responsible for: a typo in a letter or a resume, an old address on your own invoice template, a price list, notes and drafts. Certificates, mark sheets, ID cards, bank statements and other records issued by someone else must come from them: changing one and presenting it as genuine is forgery, and our terms of use forbid it. If an issued document has a mistake, ask the issuer for a corrected copy.
Use cases
Correcting typos
Fix a spelling mistake or a wrong number in a quotation, invoice or letter, keeping the original font.
Updating an old document
Change the date, address or phone number in a PDF resume or letterhead.
Reusing a template
Replace the names and details in a PDF certificate or form you use again and again.
Questions
Can I edit a certificate or a mark sheet?
No. A document issued by a university, a board, a bank or a government office must be corrected by them: ask the issuer for a corrected copy. Editing it yourself and using it as genuine is forgery.
Will the edited text look the same?
When the PDF's font contains every letter you type, it's the same font, size and colour. Otherwise a look-alike of the same width is used.
Can I delete a whole line?
Yes. Click it and press Delete in the toolbar: the words are removed from the file, not just hidden.
Why can't I click some text?
It may be a scan (an image) or drawn as shapes. Use OCR for scans, or cover it with Whiteout and add new text.
