Frequently asked questions

Does this edit the existing text on the page?

No — this draws new text over the page; it can't click into and edit text that's already there. PDFs store text as positioned glyphs, not as an editable document flow, so true in-place text editing isn't something a browser tool (or most desktop tools) can safely do without risking layout corruption.

What characters can I type?

Basic Latin text — the same character set as Windows-1252 (covers English and most Western European languages, including accented characters like é, ñ, ü). CJK scripts, Arabic, Cyrillic, and emoji aren't supported yet, because the built-in font this tool uses doesn't have those glyphs; the tool tells you immediately if what you typed won't draw correctly.

Does this upload my PDF anywhere?

No. Everything — reading the PDF, rendering the page, placing the text, and saving — happens entirely in your browser.

Can I add text to multiple pages in one pass?

Yes — navigate between pages and add text on each one before saving; everything is written out in a single save.
