Add text to a PDF

Insert custom text onto a specific page of a PDF, useful for notes, labels, or filling in a simple form field.

Insert custom text onto a specific page of a PDF — fill in a missing field, add a note, or label a page without redesigning the whole document.

Placing text on a page

Type the text, choose the page, the position, the size and the colour, and it is written onto the page. It is handy for adding a date, a reference number or a short note to a PDF you cannot edit in its original program.

The added text becomes part of the page. It does not reflow existing paragraphs, so to change wording inside a paragraph you need the original document or PDF to Word.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload the PDF you want to edit.
  2. Type the text to add and choose the page number.
  3. Download the PDF with your text inserted.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add text to more than one page in a single job?

Each job adds text to one chosen page; for multiple pages, run the tool again on the result.

Can I control exactly where on the page the text appears?

You choose the page number; for precise on-page placement of multiple elements, this tool is best suited to single notes or labels.
