What PDF Editor does
PDF Editor is a workspace for structural changes to a PDF. Rearrange pages with arrow buttons, rotate or delete them, stamp text such as “DRAFT” or a date onto pages, add page numbers and append other PDFs or images — all in one session, followed by a single download.
How to edit a PDF
- Add your PDF. Its pages appear as a list of thumbnails.
- Use the arrows to move a page up or down, and the buttons beside it to rotate or delete.
- Add text: type it, choose where it should go, its size and colour, and the pages it applies to.
- Optionally switch on page numbers, or append another PDF or image to the end.
- Press save and download the edited file.
What you can and cannot change
| You can | You cannot |
|---|---|
| Reorder, rotate and delete pages | Rewrite the existing sentences in the PDF |
| Add new text on top of pages | Change fonts of existing text |
| Add page numbers | Move existing pictures around |
| Append PDFs and images |
This is a limit of the PDF format, not just of this tool. A PDF stores text as positioned characters, not as paragraphs that can reflow. To rewrite the content, convert the file with PDF to Word, edit it there and save it as a PDF again.
Use cases
- Marking a document as DRAFT, COPY or PAID.
- Adding a date, reference number or name to the top of a page.
- Typing a short answer onto a non-fillable form.
- Assembling a final document: reorder pages, append an annexure, number everything.
Choosing the right tool
- Highlighting, drawing and quick notes: PDF Annotator.
- Filling a form that has real fields: PDF Form Filler.
- A signature: Sign PDF.
- A repeated, semi-transparent stamp or logo: Watermark PDF.
- Hiding sensitive details: PDF Redactor.
Tips
- Make structural changes first — delete and reorder — then add text and page numbers, so they land on the final pages.
- Added text uses standard PDF fonts, which cover English and Western European characters. For notes in Hindi or other scripts, use the PDF Annotator, which draws text as an image.
- Keep the original file. Text you add becomes part of the page and is not a separate layer you can remove later.
Common problems
The text is in the wrong place. Adjust the position and try again from the original; the preview updates when you reload.
