Frequently asked questions
Can I change the existing text in a PDF?
Yes. Choose Edit text and click any line: retype it, change its size or colour, move it, or delete it. The old text is removed from the file, not just covered.
Will the font look the same?
The closest standard font (Helvetica, Times or Courier) is used with the original size and colour. For most documents the change is hard to notice; unusual or decorative fonts may look slightly different.
Can I edit scanned PDFs?
Scans contain pictures of text, not real text. Run OCR PDF first, or cover the area with White-out and type new text on top.
Is white-out the same as redaction?
No. White-out only hides content visually. To permanently remove sensitive information, use Redact PDF.
Is Edit PDF free?
Yes. Edit PDF on HappyPDF is completely free: no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my files safe?

Does it work on phone, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Samsung Internet) on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone/iPad. Nothing to install.
