About this tool

Edit the text that's already in your PDF: click any line, in Arabic or English, and type. The font size, style and colour are matched, and the old words are removed from the file, not just hidden. You can also add new text, signatures and stamps, white-out, highlight, and draw boxes, arrows or freehand notes.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF. Each page appears as a preview, and every line of text can be clicked.
  2. Click a line and type to change it. A small toolbar lets you change the font, size, bold, italic and colour, delete the line or restore it. Use the tools above the page to add new text, white-out, highlight or draw.
  3. Select Save PDF and download the edited file.

Questions and answers

Can I change the existing text in my PDF?

Yes. Click the line and type, just like in a word processor. When you save, the original words are taken out of the page and your new text is written in their place, so the old text can't be copied or found by search afterwards.

Does it keep my fonts?

It matches the size, weight, style and colour, and uses the closest standard font (sans-serif, serif or monospace). English text is saved as real, selectable text; Arabic is drawn with a proper Arabic font so the letters join correctly.

Why can't I click the text in my scan?

A scanned page is a photo of text, so there are no letters to edit. Make it searchable first, or cover the words with White-out and type over them with Text.

Is white-out safe for hiding confidential information?

No. It hides the words on screen and in print, but the original text stays inside the file and can still be copied or found by search. To share a document safely without the hidden text, print it to PDF or use PDF to JPG and then Images to PDF.
