Edit PDF Online

Open a PDF and change it directly — click any line of existing text to retype it in the document’s own font, or add new text, images, shapes, links and signatures. The file is opened and rewritten by your browser; it is never sent anywhere.

Why use PalPDF for this

Edit the text that is already there

Click a line and type. PalPDF reads the font, size, spacing and colour the page used and writes your change back in the same hand, rather than covering the old words with a box.

No account, no upload, no watermark

The editor is a web page that does the work locally. There is no sign-in, no file size quota on a server, and nothing is stamped on the result.

Everything on one canvas

Text, whiteout, shapes, images, links, form fields and signatures are all in the same editor, so a document needing four changes takes one pass.

How to Edit PDF Online

  1. Open your PDF — Drag it onto the page or choose it from your device. It loads straight into the editor.
  2. Make your changes — Click existing text to edit it in place, or pick a tool from the toolbar to add something new.
  3. Apply and download — Press Apply changes, check the preview, then download the finished PDF.

Questions

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF, or only add new text on top?

You can edit the existing text. Click a line and it becomes editable in place; PalPDF rewrites that line using the font already embedded in the document, so the change matches the rest of the page.

Do I need Adobe Acrobat?

No. PalPDF runs in a normal browser tab. There is nothing to install and no subscription.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is read, edited and written entirely by your browser. It never leaves your device, which also means the tool works with the network off.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

A scan is a picture, so there is no text to click. You can still add text, whiteout areas and sign it. To turn the picture into selectable text first, run it through OCR.
