Editing and Reviewing Text

Use Edit Text to add, replace, or delete existing text in a PDF. Text added using this tool will not wrap; Edit Text is recommended for minor changes to text only.Be aware that performing this action on a page containing flattened markups will prevent all markups on the page from being unflattened.

Edit Text cannot be used on a PDF that has been digitally signed or certified.
