FrançaisHow to add text and a signature to a PDF
A short correction and a signature are different edits, but they can follow the same local workflow. Start with the original PDF, make one change at a time and inspect the preview before downloading.
Open the PDF editor1. Open the source PDF
Open the PDF editor and choose the file from your device. The file is read in the browser. A protected PDF needs an unlocked copy before it can be edited.
- 1Choose the PDF or drop it on the opening area.
- 2Wait for the first page and its text layer to appear.
- 3If the document is a scan, leave OCR until you know which pages need it.
2. Correct existing text
Choose Edit text, then select the outlined line you want to change. The replacement is positioned over the original line so the page looks corrected.
- 1Click the line and replace only the words that need changing.
- 2Review the font, size, colour and weight in the settings.
- 3Click elsewhere and check the line at the page scale you plan to export.
3. Add a signature or new text
Use Add text for a new label or note. Use Sign to draw or place a signature image, then resize and move it into position.
- 1Choose Add text or Sign from the toolbar.
- 2Place the new item where it belongs and adjust its size.
- 3Use undo if the placement needs another attempt.
4. Export and keep a copy
Download the edited PDF only after checking every changed page. The editor can save an opt-in local draft for seven days, but the downloaded file is the durable copy.
- 1Review the visible result and any OCR lines you changed.
- 2Export the PDF and open the download in a second viewer.
- 3For confidential removal, use a true redaction workflow rather than visual whiteout.
