Make Changes Without Starting Over
Reading a PDF is easy. Changing the text already inside it is the harder job - and the reason people look for a mobile PDF text editor.
01
Reading is not editing
A PDF viewer lets you open and scroll a document. It does not let you fix a name, date, or sentence already on the page.
02
Edit the existing text
PDFix Edit PDF lets you tap text already in the file and change it in place - so you update the document you received instead of rebuilding it.
03
From your phone
When a computer is not handy, you can still correct and update PDFs on iPhone, iPad, or Android before you send them.
Edit Existing PDF Text
Capabilities below match the in-app Edit PDF tool. Annotation and markup are available inside the same tool when you need them.
Edit existing text
Tap text already present in a PDF and change it in place - without recreating the whole document.
Adjust text appearance
Format typography with bold, italic, underline, highlight, and font changes while you edit.
Make corrections on the go
Fix typos and update names or dates on your phone before you send the file.
Mark up when needed
While editing, draw with pen, highlighter, and eraser, or insert shapes such as line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, and callout. Annotation lives inside Edit PDF.
