How to edit a PDF online
- Choose your PDF. The pages appear on screen.
- Pick a tool: Text (click where you want to type), White-out (drag over content to hide it), Highlight, Box, Draw, Image or Sign.
- Use Select to move items, resize boxes and images with the round handle, or delete them.
- Click Save PDF to download the edited file.
How do I change the existing text in a PDF?
Choose ✎ Edit text (it's selected automatically when you open a file) and click any line of text. The old words are covered with the page's background colour and a text box appears in the same place, with a matching size, colour and font style, ready for you to type. Delete everything in the box to erase that line completely.
This works on PDFs created digitally — bills, letters, certificates, resumes, forms. A scanned PDF is only a picture of text, so there is nothing to click; for those, cover words with White-out and type new ones with Add text. The replacement uses standard fonts (Helvetica, Times or Courier), so it may look slightly different from an unusual original font.
Common uses
- Filling in application forms, affidavits and declarations that aren't fillable.
- Signing rent agreements, offer letters and consent forms without printing.
- Correcting a name, date or amount in a document.
- Hiding personal details (phone or Aadhaar number) before sharing. Note: white-out hides content visually, but the original text may still be selectable underneath. To remove it completely, convert the saved file with PDF to JPG and back with JPG to PDF.
Tips
- Text in English uses standard PDF fonts and stays sharp and selectable. Text in Hindi or other scripts, or with symbols like ₹, is added as a high-resolution image so it shows correctly everywhere.
- Need a neater signature? Make one with the signature maker and add it with Image.
- Want to combine, split or shrink the result? Use Merge PDF, Split PDF or Compress PDF.
