Can I change the existing text in my PDF?

No. Edit PDF adds text, drawings, images and links over the pages but does not rewrite the original wording.

Why doesn’t the Eraser remove text from the original page?

It is built to clean up only your own additions, so you cannot accidentally damage the document underneath.

How do I add a signature?

Click the signature button, draw your signature and choose Use. Then click the page where it should go and drag its corners to resize it.

My PDF has more than 300 pages. What can I do?

Split it with Split PDF, edit the pages that need changes, and join the parts again with Merge PDF.

Which keyboard shortcuts work?

Ctrl+Z undoes, Ctrl+Y redoes, Delete removes the selected item and Esc clears the selection. The mouse wheel zooms.

Is a signature added here legally valid?

It is a drawn image of your signature, fine for many everyday documents but not a qualified electronic signature.

What Edit PDF does

Edit PDF is a page editor in your browser for adding things to a PDF: a typed note on a delivery slip, an arrow pointing at a clause, a highlighted line, a logo in the corner or a signature at the bottom. Pages appear as large previews under a toolbar, and anything you place can be moved, resized, restyled or removed until you click Save and Download.

Beyond text boxes, you get a pen with presets such as highlighter, marker, pencil and fountain pen, plus rectangles, ellipses, circles, lines and arrows with adjustable line styles. The Pages panel handles page-level work too: add blank pages, reorder, rotate or delete them. Undo, redo, keyboard shortcuts and mouse-wheel zoom keep longer sessions comfortable.

How to use Edit PDF

Upload your PDF and wait while the pages are prepared.
Pick a tool such as Text, Highlight, Image or Arrow, then click or drag on the page.
Select any item to adjust its font, color, stroke width or opacity in the Properties panel.
Use the Pages panel to add a blank page, move pages, rotate them or delete them.
Click Save and Download to get the edited PDF.

Features and options

Styled text and dates: Add text anywhere with 20 font families, any size and color, plus bold, italic and underline. The Date tool places today’s date in one click.
Pens and highlighting: Freehand drawing comes with presets from fine liner and ballpoint to felt tip and brush. Highlight marks a passage by dragging over it.
Shapes, lines and arrows: Draw rectangles, ellipses, circles, lines and arrows with solid, dashed or dotted strokes and four arrowhead styles. Check and cross marks tick items off in one click.
Images, signatures and links: Place a logo or stamp image, draw a signature and drop it on the page, or turn an area into a clickable web link you can test before saving.
Page management: Insert blank pages, change the order, rotate single pages and delete the ones you do not need, in the same session as your other edits.

When it helps

A teacher marks up a PDF essay with highlights, arrows and margin comments.
A freelancer adds a logo, a date and a drawn signature to an invoice.
A project manager circles problem areas on a floor plan and deletes an outdated page.
Someone types answers onto a simple form with no fillable fields and ticks boxes with check marks.

Tips and limits

The editor adds content on top of the page; it does not rewrite text already in the PDF. To change wording, edit the source file or try PDF to Word.
The Eraser removes only strokes, lines and shapes you added, never the PDF’s own content.
The editor handles up to 300 pages and 50 MB. For longer files, cut out the part you need with Split PDF first.
Covering something with a shape only hides it visually; use Redact PDF to remove sensitive information for good.
