Before you start

Recognizable top-level text blocks can be replaced. Replacement text uses an embedded Traditional Chinese font, which may change the appearance and increase file size. Text does not reflow like Word. Scans, outlined text and text inside complex objects cannot be edited directly. OCR is not included.

Limit: 50 MB per file, 5 MB for text files and 100 MB in total. Available device memory may impose smaller limits. Files are not uploaded to a conversion server.

Tool FAQ

Can I edit existing text in a PDF?

Supported ordinary text blocks can be selected and replaced. Applying an edit removes the selected original text and embeds the replacement. It does not reflow the document like Word, and some fonts or complex objects may not be recognized.

Why can I not select text in a scanned PDF?

Scanned pages are usually images without selectable text blocks. OCR is not available. You can add text, but cannot directly rewrite letters inside the scan.

Do I need to download a PDF editor?

No installation is needed. Open this page, choose a PDF and wait for the preview. Fonts and editing components load when needed; document content is not uploaded to a conversion server.

Can I edit Traditional Chinese text?

Supported characters are embedded using a Traditional Chinese font. Unsupported rare characters or symbols show an error. The font appearance can change, so review the preview before downloading.

Can I edit PDF documents for free without installing software?

Yes. Use a modern browser to edit supported text blocks or add new text. Text in scanned images needs OCR first; this tool does not provide OCR.
