PDF Text Editor - Frequently Asked Questions
Will the edited text match the original font?
The editor will try to reuse the original font. If the font is not embedded in the PDF, a visually similar font is used.
Can I edit text in a scanned PDF?
Scanned pages are images, so their text cannot be edited directly. OCR support for scanned documents is planned for a later phase.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. PDF App Tools is free for everyone, with no mandatory account and no payment required.
