The real text, not a box on top

Many editors cover the old words with a white box and print new ones over it. OasisPDF changes the text the file holds, so it can still be selected, searched and copied afterwards.

The same font

Your changes are typed with the font in the file. When that font lacks a letter, the same font from a library of open fonts is used, or the closest one by measure, and a label tells you which.

Paragraphs that wrap again

Add a sentence and the lines below make room; delete one and they close up. Alignment, indents and line spacing stay as they were, and what stands below the paragraph moves with it.

Size, color, bold and lists

While you type, the bar above the page has the size, the color (the document’s own colors first), bold, italic, alignment, and bulleted and numbered lists.

Right to left too

Hebrew is edited as text, right to left, also in lines that mix it with English or numbers.

How to edit text in a PDF

  1. Open your PDF: choose the file or drop it on this page.

  2. Click the paragraph you want to change. A caret appears where you clicked.

  3. Type, delete or paste. Select text to change its size, color or weight.

  4. Save. The file is written back with your changes and nothing else touched.

The editor is right here. Open your PDF to begin.

Questions and answers

Why can’t I type in some text?

Text in Arabic script, Hebrew with vowel points, vertical Chinese and Japanese, and text in fonts the file stores as drawings can be moved or deleted as a whole but not typed in yet. The editor says so when you select it, with the reason.

What if my text no longer fits on the page?

What stands below moves down. If lines pass the bottom margin, OasisPDF asks where they should go: on to the next page, to a new page, or stay.

Can I find and replace a word everywhere?

Yes. Find searches the whole document, and Replace all changes every place in one step that one undo takes back.
