FAQ
Questions about edit pdf text
Can I change existing text in a PDF?
Yes. The editor detects text on the PDF page and lets you create a visual replacement layer that is exported into the final PDF.
Can I match the original font style?
You can adjust size, color, boldness, spacing, and placement to closely match the original text appearance.
Is this useful for scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs need OCR before text can be detected. OCR is planned as a separate tool, while visual overlays can still be added manually.
