Can I change the existing text directly?

Not in-place - PDF text isn't editable like Word text. The overlay technique (white block + new text on top) handles corrections; for full text rewrites, convert with PDF to Word, edit, and convert back.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

Yes - overlay editing works identically on scans, which is exactly how you fill in a scanned form.

Will my edits look obviously added?

Match the font size and the result is clean. A white block over dark-background areas will show - it works best on white-page documents.

Can I delete a whole page?

Use PDF Split to rebuild the document without that page - it's the cleaner tool for page-level changes.

Are my documents kept?

No - files are deleted automatically from our servers after you download the edited version.

What you can do with PDF Editor

PDF Editor lets you place new elements onto existing pages - text, images, shapes, highlights, white-out blocks - and save the result. It's overlay editing: you add on top of the page rather than rewriting its underlying text.

When PDF Editor helps

The alternative for small fixes is absurd: convert to Word, edit one line, convert back, and hope the layout survived both trips. Overlay editing fixes a date, adds a missing detail, or covers an error in seconds with zero layout risk to the rest of the document.

How the PDF is handled

Upload the PDF, pick a tool from the toolbar, click where the change goes. To 'edit' existing text: place a white rectangle over the old text, then a text box with the correction on top - the standard technique for filling forms and fixing typos on flattened documents.
