How to Edit Text in a PDF Online

You spot a typo in a PDF, or a date needs updating, and you no longer have the original document. Editing the text inside the PDF itself is different from just typing on top of it.

Quick answer

Open Edit PDF, upload your file, click the text or image you want to change, edit it, and download the updated PDF.

Step by step

  1. Open Edit PDF and sign in with a Pro account (the $2 trial gives 72 hours of Pro access).
  2. Upload your PDF.
  3. Click the text or image you want to change and edit it. Use the highlight and drawing tools if you need to mark something up.

Tips

  • Keep a copy of the original file before you edit.
  • Only need to add new text to a form or a scan? PDF Form Fill is free and needs no account.
  • Need to add your signature after editing? Use PDF Sign.

Good to know

Unlike our other tools, Edit PDF needs to process your file on our side, so the file is uploaded. It is scanned for malware, processed in an isolated memory environment, and not stored. It is removed when you refresh or close the page. See how we keep files private for the full picture.

Edit PDF is a Pro feature. A one-time $2 pass gives 72 hours of Pro access with no automatic recurring charge. Open Edit PDF.
