Editing PDFs — What You Need to Know

PDFs aren't designed to be edited — but Document Genius makes it simple. Whether you need to fix a typo, update a date, or reorganise pages, you can do it all directly in your browser. Your file is encrypted during upload and deleted after your session.

What Can I Edit?

Add or edit text, insert images, highlight content, draw shapes, add comments, underline, redact sensitive information, and reorder or delete pages — all from the toolbar without leaving your browser.

Do I Need the Original File?

No. Upload any PDF and edit it directly — you don't need the original Word or design file it was created from. Useful for updating contracts, reports, or forms you only have as a PDF.

Can I Edit Text in a PDF?

Yes. Use the text tool to click anywhere and add new text, or use Format Text to adjust fonts and styling. For full text replacement, convert your PDF to Word first using our free converter.

Edit Your Document, Then Take the Next Step

Once you've made your edits, sign your document online or request signatures from others. Need deeper text edits? Convert your PDF to Word first. Need a document to edit? Browse our ready-made templates and customise from there.
