Add text to a PDF in your browser
Fill in a name, a date or a short note on a PDF that has no form fields. Choose Text or Date, click the page where the text should start and type. Pick a size from 6 to 72 points and any color. It is added in Helvetica on a new layer, and the document’s original wording is left exactly as it was.
Text added to a rotated page follows that page’s rotation. If a line lands in the wrong place, drag it to the right spot before you press Done. Up to ten recent changes can be undone in each session.
