How to use the Add Text to PDF

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Pick the Text tool and click where the text should go, then type in the side panel.
  3. Drag to fine-tune the position, change size, font or colour, and download.

What does this tool do?

Perfect for printed-style application forms that don't have fillable fields: click on each line and type. Use white-out first to cover a typo or an old date, then type the correction on top.

Text uses the standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times and Courier), so the file stays small and prints sharply. Your PDF is processed on your own device and never uploaded.

Why use it?

  • Works on any PDF.
  • White-out for corrections.
  • Multi-line text.

Accuracy and limits

  • This adds new text; it can't edit existing text inside the PDF. Built-in fonts support Western European characters only.
