PDF Editor — Fix Text, Merge, Reorder, Rotate, Watermark & Split

Correct the text that is already there

Click anywhere in the text and the caret goes there. The arrows walk the page rather than one line, Shift selects across lines, and typing and deleting go in where the caret is. The words are replaced in the page's own instructions, in the typeface they were already in — nothing is laid on top, and the old wording is not left underneath for the person you send it to. The encoding is recovered from the document itself, so a corrected line matches the ones around it as long as the page has already printed every character you type; when it has not, a typeface that can draw it is added and the tool says so rather than quietly drawing the wrong shape.

Everything else you need to edit a PDF, in one place

Drop in one or more PDFs and every page appears as a thumbnail. Reorder pages by dragging, rotate a page that scanned sideways, and delete the ones you don't need. Type on a page, drop in a signature or a picture, redact anything that must really go — the covered words are removed from the file, and the rest of the page keeps its selectable text — highlight, draw and crop. One button drops a text watermark across every page and another adds page numbers that count themselves — both land as ordinary items you can move, resize and restyle before you save. Unlike most online PDF tools your files are never uploaded — everything runs inside your browser.

One Save screen, instead of six other tools

Press Save… and a single screen offers everything you might want done to the file you are already saving: make it smaller (repacked with nothing re-drawn, or scanned pages squeezed hard), change it to greyscale or pure black and white, lay it out for printing (several pages to a sheet, folded into a booklet, or one page blown up across several sheets as a poster), lock it with a password, fix form entries in place so they can no longer be edited, and split it into separate files — every N pages, or just the pages you name. If the pages were measured as crooked there is also a straighten option, which turns each one back level; and if the document is a scan with no text of its own, a make the scanned words searchable option reads every page with OCR on your device and lays the words back as invisible text, leaving the scan itself untouched. It reads back a plain-language list of what saving will do before you press the button, including a warning when a choice would cost you selectable text.

It tells you what your file needs

Opening a document also raises whatever is actually true of it, rather than leaving you to shop through a menu: pages that look blank — the kind a duplex scanner leaves behind — listed by number with one click to drop them; how far a crooked scan is tilted, with one click to straighten it; a scan carrying no text at all, with one click to read it and make it searchable; comments and highlights already in the file; and a file whose original blocked printing or copying, which saving here quietly removes. A document that needs nothing says nothing.
