New text is drawn on top of the page; existing text is not moved or replaced. Placement is measured in percentages from the top-left corner of the page, so it works on any page size.

About this tool

PDFs are designed to be final, which is exactly the problem when a form needs a date, a page needs a reference number, or a document needs a short note before it goes out. Opening a full editor for one line of text is overkill.

This tool draws real text onto the page you choose, at the position, size, weight and colour you set. Because it is genuine text and not an image, it stays sharp at any zoom level and remains searchable in the finished PDF. Position is given in percentages, so the same settings work whether the page is A4, Letter or an unusual scan size.

What it's good for

  • Filling in a flat PDF form that has no interactive fields.
  • Adding a case, invoice or reference number to every page.
  • Marking a document as received, checked or superseded.
  • Writing a short note for a colleague directly on a page.

Questions people ask

Can I edit text that is already in the PDF?
No. Existing text cannot be rewritten here — this adds new text on top. For substantial rewrites, convert to Word, edit, and convert back.
How do I know where the text will land?
Left and top are percentages of the page, so 50 and 50 is the centre. Adjust and re-run if needed.
Which fonts are available?
Standard Helvetica in regular and bold, which every PDF reader can display without embedding.
