Edit PDF lets you add new content on top of existing pages: type text into a form that has no fillable fields, add a logo or photo, draw boxes, ellipses and lines to point things out, or highlight passages for a reviewer. It's the quickest way to fill in a printed-style form, mark up a draft or add a note before forwarding a document.
The editor adds new elements; it does not change text that is already in the PDF. To rewrite existing paragraphs, convert the PDF to Word, make your changes and convert it back to PDF.
Everything happens in your browser, so your document is never uploaded. If you're covering up information, remember that a white rectangle only hides content visually; use Redact PDF to actually remove it.

- Shapes placed over content hide it visually but don't remove it. Use Redact PDF for sensitive information.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the existing text in my PDF?
No. This editor adds new text, images, shapes and highlights. To rewrite existing text, convert the file with PDF to Word, edit it, then convert it back with Word to PDF.
Can I fill in a form that has no fillable fields?
Yes. Use the text tool to type your answers directly where they belong on the page.
Is drawing a black box over text the same as redacting?
No. The text underneath is still in the file and can often be copied out. Use Redact PDF to remove it permanently.
Is my document uploaded while I edit?
No. The editor runs in your browser and your PDF stays on your device.
Can others edit what I added?
Added elements become part of the page. They are not locked, so if you need a stronger guarantee, protect the file afterwards with Protect PDF.
