Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit text that’s already in the PDF?
No — this tool only adds a new text box at a position you choose; it doesn’t modify or remove existing text that’s part of the original PDF content.
How do I control where my added text appears?
Set the page number and the X/Y position before applying — the text is placed at that exact coordinate on that page.
Can I add multiple separate text boxes in one pass?
Each conversion adds one text box; for several additions, run the tool again on the result for each new piece of text.
Can I change the font or add images, not just text?
This tool is text-only with a fixed font; for adding an image like a signature, use the Sign PDF tool instead.
Will my original PDF be modified?
No — a new PDF with your added text is generated; your uploaded file itself isn’t altered on your device.
