How to Add Text to a PDF
Adding text to a PDF is one of the most common editing tasks. Whether you need to fill in a form, add a title, insert a date, or annotate a document, our text tool makes it easy. Upload your PDF, select the text tool, and click anywhere on the page. A text box appears where you can type your content. Use the properties panel to select your font, set the size, choose a color, and toggle bold or italic. You can drag the text box to position it precisely, and use the free transform tool to resize or rotate it.
Filling Out PDF Forms
Many PDF forms are not fillable — they do not have interactive form fields. Our text tool solves this by letting you add text directly on top of the form. Simply click on each form field area, type the required information, and adjust the font size and position to fit the field. This works for application forms, tax forms, registration forms, and any other PDF form you need to fill out.
Professional Text Formatting
The text tool gives you professional-level formatting control. With six font families ranging from clean sans-serif fonts like Roboto and Montserrat to elegant serif fonts like Lora and Playfair Display, you can match the style of any document. The color picker lets you choose any color, and the size control lets you match the text size of existing content. Bold and italic styles are available for every font, giving you full typographic flexibility.
