What it's built for

This is meant for quick, targeted additions: filling a blank on a form, a margin note, labeling a diagram. For rewriting existing paragraphs, converting to Word, editing there, and converting back usually works better.

A typical use case

Filling in a name or date on a certificate, adding "Received" and today's date to an invoice, or labeling a diagram before forwarding it. Small, specific additions rather than a full rewrite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit or delete existing text?

This adds new text on top of the page rather than modifying what's already there. Use Redact PDF if you need to remove existing content.

Can I change the font or add images?

It supports plain text with an adjustable font size; image placement isn't available here.

Can I undo a text placement if I click the wrong spot?

Yes, use Undo Last to remove the most recent addition before saving.

Can I change the color of the added text?

It uses a fixed accent color, designed to stand out clearly from the original page content.
