Frequently asked questions

How do I type on a PDF that can’t be edited?

Open it in the editor and click anywhere on the page with the Text tool. The text is added to the PDF as a new layer, so it works on scanned documents too.

How do I wrap long text into a column?

Drag the side handle of the text box to set its width – the text then starts to wrap.

How do I add a date?

Click the arrow next to the Text tool, choose “Today’s date” and click on the page.

How do I change text that’s already in the document?

Click a line of text with the Select or Edit text tool and type over it.
