Add visible content to PDF pages

Use Edit PDF to place new visible objects on top of PDF pages without pretending to rewrite the document's existing text content.

Add text and images where needed

Place new text boxes or supported images on selected pages, then move and resize them using the available controls.

Mark up pages with highlights, drawings, and shapes

Use the supported highlight, drawing, and shape tools for visible review marks and simple additions.

Review additions across multiple pages

Move between page previews, inspect each addition, and reopen the finished PDF to confirm the result.

About this tool

Add new visible content without rewriting existing PDF text

Edit PDF is an overlay-style editor. Position and format new content on the page while keeping the source PDF content underneath.

Useful for

  • Add reference text, dates, labels, images, highlights, or shapes.
  • Build and review additions across multiple pages.
  • Create an updated copy without changing the original source file.

Good to know

  • Existing PDF text is not directly editable; the editor adds new overlay content.
  • Saving any edit invalidates an existing cryptographic signature.
  • PDF forms with named fields are a different workflow from free-position overlay editing.
