Change the words already on the page.
Select a detected text segment, type its replacement and preview it. Best for small corrections on plain, solid backgrounds. Use automatic closest-font matching or upload the matching font, then adjust size, style and colours. This is visual replacement, not paragraph reflow; exact font matching is not guaranteed.
One unencrypted PDF · up to 20 MB and 20 pages · detects horizontal selectable text on unrotated pages. Scanned pages need OCR first; OCR output is text only.
Choose a text segment from this list. Detection may split a sentence into several parts.
Empty replacement removes this segment. With Fit enabled, long replacements shrink to the original width; switch it off to keep the chosen font size. Images, patterns and overlapping text behind a segment may be covered.

Using Rewrite PDF Text
Open a PDF, tap detected text, type its replacement, adjust its font controls and apply the change.
Example: Correct a name without changing other pages
- Choose a PDF with selectable horizontal text and select the name from the detected segments.
- Type the correction, adjust the font and colours, and keep Fit enabled to stay inside the original width. Review the on-page preview.
- Accept the changed-page export option and save. Preview the exported page; untouched pages retain PDF content, but edited pages become images.
