Why Choose MakePDFRight for Edit PDF?

Local processing

This editor processes document contents on your device.

Accurate page placement

Edits use the original page size, crop and rotation.

Interactive output

Links remain clickable and new form fields remain fillable in compatible PDF viewers.

Common Use Cases

  • Adding notes and highlighting text
  • Placing logos and signature images
  • Filling standard forms and adding new fields

Technical Considerations & Limitations

  • Text replacement places new text over a white cover. Whiteout covers content; neither feature securely removes the underlying content.
  • Added text uses standard Helvetica, Times or Courier fonts with supported Latin characters. Scanned text requires a new text overlay.
  • Signatures are images without digital signing certificates. Standard text fields, checkboxes and dropdowns are supported; complex XFA and radio fields are not editable here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Select Text and click a horizontal text run to place an editable replacement over it. Change the text in Properties. The original PDF text remains underneath the cover.
