Processing on your device
PDF Editor processes your file in your browser on your device. The file is not uploaded for processing. Download the result to keep a permanent copy. Your active PDF is saved locally in this browser for recovery across refreshes. Close Document removes it; recovery expires after 24 hours and is cleaned up when PDF NOVA next opens. Unsaved changes are not restored.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install software?
No. The editor runs in modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iPad and Android tablets.
Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?
Yes. Click text to edit its whole paragraph. Your new text uses the PDF’s own font when it has every character, else a matching or the closest available font (the editor says which). When you save, the original text is removed from the page; where that is not safe (for example text inside a shared page object) it is covered instead and stays in the file underneath, and the editor tells you so.
