Frequently asked questions
How do I change text in a PDF?
Drop your PDF, click the line, type the new text and press Enter. Select Download PDF.
Does the paragraph flow again?
No. Each line keeps its place, so a much longer line can run past its column. Keep a changed line about as long as the old one.
Can I edit a scanned page?
Pages without visible PDF text are recognized automatically here. Click a recognized line to replace it with real text in a similar font. Recognition can make mistakes. Solid background and text colours are sampled from the page. Lines on complex backgrounds cannot be replaced reliably and are marked as unavailable. Check the preview before downloading.
Why can some lines not be edited?
Text on a hidden layer, vertical text, text partly hidden by the page and some fonts cannot be set again without changing how the page looks. Such a line says why when you point at it.

Technical details
Processing
PDFium finds the lines and removes the old one. The new line is shaped with HarfBuzz and written where the old one was, in a background worker in your browser.
Fonts
Fonts with the same letter widths are used for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. Fonts for other scripts are loaded from this site the first time a script appears.

Beta
Styles inside a line follow its longest part, and a justified line loses its justification.
