PDF Edit & Annotate questions
How do I edit a PDF online for free?
Choose the PDF, open the required page, add text, images, a visual signature, markup, drawings, or shapes, then apply the edits and download the new PDF. The editing workflow does not require an account.
Can I type or write on a PDF?
Yes. Use Add text to type at a precise page position, or use the drawing tool to write freehand with a mouse, stylus, or touch screen.
Can I change existing text in the PDF?
The editor can place new text and visually cover old text, but it does not reflow arbitrary text already embedded in the source PDF. Securely removing sensitive text requires the Redact PDF tool rather than a white box.
Can I fill in a PDF form?
You can type over a non-interactive form in this editor. If the PDF contains form fields, use Fill PDF Form to detect and complete those fields directly.
Can I sign a PDF with this editor?
Yes. You can draw, type, or add a saved visual signature and position it on the page. This is a visible signature, not a certificate-based digital signature.
Is my PDF uploaded while I edit it?
No. The document is opened, edited, and exported locally in this browser. Closing the page clears the active document from the editor.
Can I edit or erase existing annotations?
Supported native highlights, underlines, strikeouts, ink, lines, arrows, rectangles, and ellipses reopen as editable objects. Added text, signatures, and rotated shape appearances are page content; Erase can visually cover them, but use Redact PDF when content must be securely removed.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
You can add overlays and annotations to a scanned page. Run OCR first when you need selectable text for highlighting, searching, or text extraction.
Fill PDF Form
Detect and fill existing PDF fields, or add new fields at an exact page position.
Add Watermark
Apply native text watermarks across selected PDF pages.
Redact PDF
Permanently remove selected text or page regions and validate that the target cannot be extracted.
