PDF Editor Online

Open a PDF and click the words already on the page to change them in place — the original word is covered with the page background colour and your replacement is drawn at the same position and size in a free Google Font. Also add new text, highlights and rectangles, then download locally.

How to use PDF Editor

Add one PDF and wait for its pages to appear
Click any existing word on the page, type its replacement, choose font/size/colour and the cover background, then press Apply edit
Or click Add text, then click an empty area to add new text; add highlights or rectangles if needed
Review the in-place edits list (restore or undo any edit), then press Download edited PDF

Good to know

Keep replacements about the same length as the original word so neighbouring text is not covered.
Use the sampled background colour on plain pages; pick white/black/custom on coloured backgrounds.
Run scanned pages through OCR PDF first — image pages have no words to click.
In-place editing is a visual replacement, not a native rewrite of the PDF text stream: the original font cannot be detected exactly, longer replacements may overlap neighbours, and multi-column or complex layouts may not match perfectly. Scanned/image PDFs have no clickable words and need OCR first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really edit the PDF's existing words?

You can click a word and change what it says in the downloaded file: the original word is covered with the background colour and the new word is drawn in its place at the same size. That is a visual replacement flattened into the page, not a native rewrite of the underlying text stream, so the covered original may still exist underneath and results on complex layouts should be proofread.

Which fonts can I use?

A curated set of 12 free Google Fonts including Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, Poppins, Merriweather, Playfair Display and Dancing Script. The original font cannot be detected exactly, so the closest match and original size are pre-selected. On export the chosen font is embedded when it can be fetched; if not, Helvetica is used and you are told in the editor note.

Why are there no words to click on my page?

That page is probably a scanned image with no text layer. Run it through the OCR PDF tool first to add recognised text, or simply add new text on top with Add text.

Is the edited text still editable afterwards?

The downloaded PDF has edits and additions drawn/flattened into each page, so they look the same everywhere but are not separate editable form fields or native text.

Input: PDF (.pdf) · Output: PDF (.pdf)

New — click to edit existing words: click any word already in the PDF to change it in place. The original word is covered with the page background colour and your new word is drawn at the same position and size. This is an honest visual replacement, not a native rewrite of the PDF text stream: the original font cannot be detected exactly (the closest free Google Font is pre-selected), and multi-column or complex layouts may not match perfectly. Scanned/image PDFs have no clickable words — use OCR first. You can also add new text, highlights and rectangles, all flattened into the download.
