About

PDF Editor

Read full description

Edit the text inside your PDFs - not just annotate on top of them. Most PDF apps only let you draw boxes and stick notes on a page. PDF Editor lets you tap a line of text, retype it, and have it redraw in place. Fix a typo in a contract, correct a date on a form, or update a name without going back to the original document. Everything happens on your device. Your files are never uploaded to a server. EDIT TEXT IN PLACE Tap any line of text to edit it. The replacement is drawn in the same position, matching the original size and colour so it fits the surrounding document. SIGN DOCUMENTS Draw your signature with a finger, then drag and pinch it into position on any page. Save signatures to reuse them across documents - no need to redraw every time. ADD TEXT ANYWHERE Drop new text onto any page. Position and size it by dragging, and pick the colour before you place it. Useful for filling forms that have no fillable fields. BRING YOUR OWN FONTS PDFs often embed only part of a font, which means the original can't always be reused for edits. Instead of shipping a font library, PDF Editor lets you upload your own .ttf or .otf file so edits can match the document's look. When a font is substituted, the app tells you which one it was - so you know exactly what to upload. CHOOSE YOUR TEXT COLOUR Set the colour for edited and newly added text, or leave it to match whatever the original line used. WORK ACROSS PAGES Scroll through multi-page documents and place signatures or text on any page. SHARE WHEN YOU'RE DONE Send the edited PDF straight to email, messaging, cloud storage, or any app that accepts PDFs. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every edit, signature, and font stays on your phone. Nothing is sent to a server, and the app needs no storage permission - you pick files through document picker, and they're copied into the app's private storage. https://sites.google.com/view/tlutechpdf/home https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
