PDF Editor lets you change the words in any PDF, fill in printed forms, sign, annotate and share, right on your iPhone or iPad. No account, no upload, no ads. Your documents never leave your device. EDIT PDF TEXT Tap any line of text to change it. PDF Editor reads the original font, size and colour and matches them, so your edit looks like it was always there. Add new text boxes anywhere, move and resize them, and choose font, size, colour, bold, italic and alignment. FILL FORMS IN SECONDS Smart Fill finds the blanks, boxes and checkboxes on printed forms, even when the PDF has no real form fields. Tap a field, type, and jump to the next one. Tick checkboxes with a single tap. SIGN ANY DOCUMENT Draw your signature with your finger or Apple Pencil, type it, or import an image. Signatures are saved on your device for reuse, and placed with a transparent background so they sit naturally on the page. ANNOTATE AND MARK UP Highlight, underline and strike through text. Draw freehand with adjustable colour and width. Add sticky notes, rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows. WHITEOUT AND CLEAN UP Cover anything with a whiteout rectangle in white or any colour you pick. When you export, the covered content is flattened into the page. IMAGES AND LINKS Insert photos from your library or files, then move, resize and rotate them. Add clickable web links or jump-to-page links to any area of a document.
