How to Edit PDF Text

Do you ever discover an error in a report you've prepared in PDF format and need to change the text? Or do you simply want to add text to the PDF to make it more perfect? You can make a last-minute adjustment to PDF files with the Adobe PDF editor. Here are the specifics for using the content editing tool in Adobe Acrobat to modify text. However, if you take into account your budget, you can locate the most affordable Adobe Acrobat replacement since there isn't a free version of Adobe PDF editor.

Steps to Edit PDF Text

Step 1

Open the PDF document you want to edit

Hit the “Open...” button in the center of the program's window, or in the “File” menu find the file you wish to open. The drag and drop mechanism is supported for opening files as well.

Step 2

Enter 'Edit' mode

In order to edit PDF text, you need to select the 'Edit' mode. Click the “Edit” button in the upper-left-hand corner of the program's window.

Step 3

Edit text in PDF

Now you have two options to edit the text in your PDF:

1-Using the “Select” tool (enabled by default when in “Edit” mode), just double-click on any text in the document and you will be able to edit it.

2-Using the left-hand panel, choose the "Add/edit text" tool. Place your click precisely where you want to add or amend text by moving the mouse pointer over the line containing the text you desire to change. Text can be formatted in a variety of ways, including size (in points), alignment (left, right, or center), font, color, and opacity. If necessary, you can even apply bold and italic attributes. Your keyboard's "Enter" key will begin a new line. To save the freshly entered or amended text, move the mouse cursor to another area of the program's window (or, for a quicker solution, type "Ctrl+Enter" on your keyboard).

Step 4

Save the changes in your PDF

Press the standard "Ctrl+S" hotkey combination to save the changes in the document. The "Save" option in the "File" menu is available as well. If you need to edit the PDF text and save the document as a new file, then use the "Save as..." option in the "File" menu. You will be able to specify a new path and a new filename for the file.
