Editing text in PDF documents that were created in other applications
To edit text in a PDF document:
1. Click the button on the PDF Tools toolbar and wait for several seconds while the
program prepares the document for editing.
The Text toolbar will appear above the document.
2. Place the cursor in the text that you want to edit and make the desired changes using the tools on
the Text toolbar.
The program will automatically select a font that is as close to the font used in the original
document as possible.
3. To finish editing the line of text, click anywhere outside the line.
4. To exit the text editing mode, click the button again.
5. Save the document.
Editing scanned documents
Some PDF documents are image-only, i.e. they do not contain a text layer. See also: Types of PDF
documents .
ABBYY FineReader allows you to edit text in PDF documents even if they do not contain a text layer.
When you open such documents, the program creates a temporary text layer so that the document
become editable. Any edits you make (e.g. corrected typos) are then transferred onto the document
image.
