Chapter 4: Editing PDFs
Edit text in PDFs
Easily correct, update, and add text to PDF files. Reflow paragraphs and correct typos— without returning to your
original source document. Use the Typewriter too to fill in noninteractive PDF forms or sign PDFs.
This document provides instructions for Acrobat XI. If you're using Adobe Reader, see What can I do with Adobe
Reader . If you're using Acrobat X, see Acrobat X Help . And, if you're using Acrobat 7, 8, or 9, see previous versions of
Acrobat Help.
Edit text in a PDF
The Edit Text & Images tool lets you replace, edit, or add text to a PDF. You can correct typos, change fonts and typeface
size, adjust alignment, add superscripts or subscripts, and resize text or paragraphs.
You edit a PDF one page at a time. For more extensive editing or to make global formatting changes across the entire
document, edit the original document. If the original isn’t available, you can save the PDF as a Microsoft Word
document or PowerPoint presentation (Acrobat Pro only). Then edit, and re-create the PDF.
Edit or format text in a PDF
When you edit text, the text in the paragraph reflows within its text box to accommodate the changes. Each text box is
independent, and inserting text in one text block does not push down an adjacent text box or reflow to the next page.
