Add new text without changing the original PDF content

This editor places new text and simple marks over existing PDF pages. It is useful for forms that do not contain interactive fields, adding a date or reference number, placing a checkmark, or writing a short note in a fixed position.

It does not rewrite, erase or replace the original words stored inside the PDF. The downloaded file contains the original pages plus the new overlay content.

What you can add

  • Text positioned anywhere on a page
  • Checkmarks and X marks
  • Text size and color adjustments
  • Left, center or right alignment
  • Duplicated or moved overlay elements
  • Multiple changes with undo and redo
  • Polish Latin characters using the locally bundled Noto Sans font

Common uses

  • Fill a printed-style form that has no editable fields
  • Add a name, date, reference number or short note
  • Place a checkmark or X beside an option
  • Complete a PDF locally before printing or sharing
  • Add an explanatory overlay without converting the document to another format

What this PDF editor does not do

  • Edit or reflow existing printed text
  • Erase original page content
  • Perform OCR on a scan
  • Securely redact sensitive information
  • Add a cryptographic or handwritten signature
  • Unlock an encrypted PDF
  • Guarantee that a visual cover-up removes underlying data

Covering text with a colored object is not secure redaction. The underlying content may remain extractable and must not be treated as removed.

Local processing and output

The PDF bytes and typed values stay in the browser. The original is not changed. The editor creates a new downloaded copy, which should be opened in another PDF viewer and checked before it is used or shared.

Complex files, unusual page rotations, embedded forms and very large documents can behave differently between viewers. Preserve the source file.

Common questions

Can I fill a PDF that has no editable form fields?

Yes. The tool places text and marks as new overlay content anywhere on an existing page.

Can it edit existing words in the PDF?

No. It adds new content and does not rewrite, delete or reflow the original text.

Can I add text to a scanned PDF?

Yes, as an overlay on the scanned page. The tool does not OCR or change the text inside the scan.

Can it securely redact information?

No. Visual cover-ups are not secure redaction because underlying content may remain in the file. Use a purpose-built redaction workflow.

Can it add a signature?

No. The current version adds text, checkmarks and X marks but does not provide electronic or cryptographic signing.

Can it open a password-protected PDF?

The PDF must be readable by the browser. If you own the file and know its password, create an authorized unlocked copy with the PDF Unlocker first.

Does it support Polish characters?

Yes. Export uses a locally bundled Noto Sans font with Polish Latin characters.

Are the PDF and typed values uploaded?

No. The file and overlay content are processed in the browser and are not sent to TomSEOTools.

Is the original PDF changed?

No. The editor downloads a new copy. Keep the original and verify the downloaded document in another viewer.

What is the file-size limit?

The current limit is 50 MB. Large or complex files may need more browser memory and are usually easier to edit on a desktop screen.

Can I use it on a phone?

A current mobile browser may work, but precise placement is easier on a larger screen. Verify touch behavior before making a stronger mobile-support claim.
