Tips for best results

Text-based PDFs only

The editor works on PDFs with real, selectable text. Scanned PDFs need AI Scan to Text first to create a text layer — once that's done, the editor can modify it like any other PDF.

Resize the box before typing long text

If your replacement text is longer than the original, drag the box handles to grow it first. Otherwise the font auto-shrinks to fit the original footprint, which looks odd next to unmodified text.

Images and logos stay put

Only text blocks are selectable and editable. Your document's visual design — logos, diagrams, backgrounds — is preserved exactly. No risk of accidentally nudging a signature line.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs contain images, not text — there are no text blocks to edit. Use AI Text Extract first to make the PDF text-based, then open it in the editor.

Will my images and logos stay in place?

Yes — only text blocks are editable. All images, graphics, and non-text content remain exactly as they are.

What happens if my edited text is longer than the original box?

The text is automatically reflowed within your resized box. If it still overflows, the font size is automatically reduced to fit.
