Editing PDFs

Last updated 10/11/2011

Note: Comments—even though they have a graphic appearance—are not considered page elements and therefore cannot

be selected or manipulated using the touchup tools.

Edit text

You can insert or replace text only if the font used for that text is installed on your system. If the font isn’t installed on

your system but is embedded or subsetted in the PDF, you can make changes only to color, word spacing, character

spacing, baseline offset, or font size.

You can edit text on rotated lines in the same way as on horizontal lines, and you can edit text using vertical fonts in

the same way as text using horizontal fonts. The baseline offset or shift for vertical fonts is left and right, instead of up

and down for horizontal fonts.

Note: Editing and saving a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature.

Edit text using the Edit Document Text tool (formerly TouchUp Text)

The Edit Document Text tool works best when editing only a few characters. For more extensive editing, make changes

in the original document (if available), and then recreate the PDF.

If the original document is unavailable, try exporting the PDF to Word. Choose File > Save As > Microsoft Word >

[version]. For details, see “Convert PDFs to Word, RTF, spreadsheets or other formats” on page 130.

1 Choose Tools > Content > Edit Document Text.

2 Click in the text you want to edit. A bounding box outlines the selectable text. If a bounding box doesn’t appear,

choose Tools > Recognize Text > In This File. For details, see

“Recognize text in scanned documents” on page 50.

3 Select the text you want to edit:

• Choose Edit > Select All to select all the text in the bounding box.

• Drag to select characters, spaces, words, or a line.

4 Edit the text by doing one of the following:

• Type new text to replace the selected text.

• Press Delete, or choose Edit > Delete to remove the text.

• Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text.

• Right-click/Command-click the text and choose the appropriate option.

Note: If you can’t edit the text, see “Replace custom fonts with local fonts” on page 327.

5 Click outside the selection to deselect it and start over.
