How it works

1

Upload the PDF you want to edit.

2

Select text on the page or in the list and change its content, font and color. Use Add text to write in a new position.

3

Save and download your edited PDF.

Write on PDF in Arabic or English

Add a name, date or note without converting to Word. Select a page, add text and adjust its size, color and box width. Drag it or use the position controls, and review the preview before downloading.

What this PDF editor can change

Supported original text is replaced or deleted as actual text objects, with selectable replacements and no page rasterization in that mode. For scanned or outlined writing, optionally run OCR and review the reading and area first. Applying an OCR edit rebuilds the affected page visually with selectable replacement text; the rest of that page becomes an image. Fonts may differ and neighbouring paragraphs do not reflow. Add text is a separate mode that saves writing as transparent image overlays.

A private, browser-based PDF editor

Previewing, writing, OCR and saving happen in your browser without uploading your PDF. Recognition assets are downloaded from Astr when requested, and the original file stays unchanged. Check names and numbers: accuracy is not guaranteed, especially with poor images or handwriting. Editing a digitally signed document can invalidate its signature.
