PDF text boxes
Add Text to PDFs Online
Place new text on top of PDF pages without editing the original content stream. Text boxes can be positioned, resized, styled, and exported as editable annotations or flattened page content.
Workflow
- Open a PDF.
- Choose Add text and click where the text should appear.
- Edit the text content and typography from the properties panel.
- Export editable or flattened output.
Controls
- Text controls include Helvetica, Times, Courier, font size, color, and alignment.
- Use position and size controls for precise placement.
- Flattened export bakes added text into the page.
