When to use this tool

Choose add text or replace matching text. Set the pages, position, font and size; use original-font replacement only where supported.

A practical example

Add a short application name, or replace one matching phrase in a text-based document.

Check the exported result

Compare spacing, line wrapping, alignment and any reused original font in the exported PDF.

Common problems and limits

Embedded font subsets or unsupported characters can prevent exact reuse. Choose an explicit alternative and check its appearance. A scanned image has no ordinary text run to replace.

Choose the next step

PDF Forms is preferable when the document already contains interactive fields.

Files, privacy and saving
