      About Edit PDF

      When is it useful? Edit PDF lets you fix small things on a PDF — add a missing name or date, fill a non-fillable form, or cover a mistake — without special software.

      Good to know: click on the page to add new text, or draw a white-out box to hide something. White-out covers the old content on the page; for permanently removing private information, use the Redact PDF tool instead.

      Example: a PDF form cannot be filled in, but you need to add your name and date on page 1. Click on the page where the name goes, type it, add the date the same way, and download — no printing, writing and scanning needed.

      Edit PDF: a complete guide

      What “editing a PDF” really means

      PDFs are designed to keep their look, so changing existing words inside them is hard even for expensive software. Most everyday edits, though, are small: adding a missing name or date, filling a form that has no fillable fields, writing a note, or covering a typing mistake. Edit PDF is made for exactly these jobs.

      How it works

      Choose Add text, click on the page where the text should start, type it and press Enter. Set the font size, colour and bold before typing. Choose White-out and drag over an area to cover it with a white box, then type new text on top if needed. Click any item to remove it. The rest of the PDF stays exactly as it was.

      What white-out does and does not do

      White-out paints a white box over the page — the old content is hidden from view, but it is still inside the file underneath and could be recovered by someone with the right tools. For private information such as account numbers, use Redact PDF, which removes the content permanently.

      Common problems and how to fix them

      The text does not line up with the form lines: zoom in and click a little higher or lower, or adjust the font size. The text colour does not match: pick a dark grey or blue instead of black to match printed forms. A form has real fillable fields: use Fill PDF Forms instead for neater results.

      Good habits

      Check spelling before downloading, keep the original file, and download and review the edited PDF in a normal PDF viewer before sending it.
