How to edit a PDF

What you can do in this PDF editor

BlendPDF's PDF editor is free and runs in your browser, with no account and no watermark. Write on any page in Arabic or English, change a line of the text that's already there, sign, fix the pages, then save it as a PDF or in another format.

Add text

Click anywhere and type in Arabic, English or both on one line. Choose from six colors and make it bigger or smaller. It's saved as real text, so most of it can be selected and searched.

Change the existing text (beta)

Click a line that's already in the PDF and retype it. The old words are taken out of the page, not just covered, and the line keeps its own font when that font has every letter you type.

Sign it

Draw, type or upload your signature, then place it anywhere on the page and resize it.

Add an image

Put a logo, a stamp or a photo on the page. JPG and PNG images up to 20 MB work.

Draw and highlight

Draw freehand with a mouse or a finger, add rectangles, ovals, lines and arrows, or highlight what matters.

Hide with a white box

Cover something so it no longer shows. What's underneath is still in the file, so don't rely on it for anything that has to be gone for good.

Today's date, Gregorian or Hijri

Add today's date in one click, in either calendar.

Fix the pages

Turn pages, move them earlier or later, delete them, or add a blank page wherever you need one.

Save it your way

Download a PDF, or save it as Word, Excel, images or text. You can also make it smaller, add a password, or get it by email.

Common edits, step by step

How do I add text to a PDF?

Open the PDF and choose Text. Click where the words should go and type. The small bar above the box changes its color and size, and you can drag the box to move it. Choose Save PDF when you're done.

How do I change words that are already in the PDF?

Choose Edit existing text and click the line. Type it the way it should read, then save. If a line can't be changed, for example on a scanned page, the editor says why, and you can cover it with Hide (white box) and type over it with Text.

How do I sign a PDF?

Open Insert and choose Signature. Draw, type or upload it, choose Place it on the page, then drag it where it belongs. If the document asks for a date, add Today's date beside it.

How do I delete, move or rotate pages?

Open Pages. Every page has buttons to turn it, move it earlier or later, delete it, or add a blank page after it.

What it can't do yet

  • Rewrite a whole paragraph. Edit existing text changes one line at a time, and words don't flow onto the next line. For a bigger rewrite, convert the PDF to Word, edit it there, and save it as a PDF again.
  • Change the words on a scanned page. They're part of a picture. The editor can make the text searchable so you can select and copy it, but to change it, cover it with Hide (white box) and type on top.
  • Change text set at an angle, or on pages with shadows or see-through effects. Use Hide (white box) and Text there too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Arabic text come out right?

Yes. Letters join, numbers and brackets stay in order, and Arabic and English can share a line. It is saved as real text, not a picture, so most of it can be selected and searched.

Can I change text that is already in the PDF?

Yes, one line at a time, with Edit existing text (beta). Click a line, check or retype it, and when you save, the old words are taken out of the page, not just covered, and yours are written in their place. The line keeps its own font when that font has every letter you type. If it doesn't, we use the closest font we have and tell you. Scanned pages and some pages with shadows or see-through effects can't be changed this way, so use Hide (white box) there. It only hides what's underneath; it stays in the file.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser and the file stays on your device. It only reaches our server if you pick an option that needs it, like converting to Word, or choose to get the result by email.

What happens to fillable form fields?

When you save, the fields and what's typed in them become part of the page, so your additions sit on top. The saved PDF can't be filled in again.

Is it free? Is there a watermark?

Yes, it's free, and that includes Edit existing text. There's no account to create and no watermark on your file, unless you add one yourself.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on phones and tablets, so there's nothing to install, and you can draw your signature with your finger.

Can I edit a PDF that has a password?

Yes, if you know the password. Type it when you're asked and the PDF opens in the editor. If it only has restrictions that stop editing, you can remove them in one step.
