Editing text and objects
Choosing a tool
A common misconception about PDF documents is that they should behave like any other document that contains
images and text, letting you freely move or edit items on a page. A PDF is like a snapshot of your original document.
You can perform minor touch-ups, but if your PDF requires substantial revision, it's easier to make changes to the
source document and regenerate the PDF.
For editing text and objects, choose from the tools in the Advanced Editing toolbar. To insert editing marks in a PDF
to indicate your changes to the original document, see
The TouchUp Text tool lets you add to and replace existing text if the fonts used are available on the system. If the
fonts aren't available, you can change only the appearance of existing text. However, you can add new blocks of text
using the TouchUp Text tool. To wrap text on a line during editing, select Enable Text Word Wrapping in the Touchup
Preferences. The Typewriter tool also lets you create new text, but provides fewer options to modify new text than the
TouchUp Text tool.
Note: Using the TouchUp Text tool may affect how the document reflows, which can make the document less accessible
to the visually impaired.
The Select Object tool provides basic editing capabilities for most objects. You can modify the size, page location, and
properties of images, links, fields, and multimedia objects. You can make these same changes with the tool used to
create the object.
Editing text with the TouchUp Text tool
Edit text
You can insert or replace text only if the font used for that text is installed on your system. If the font isn't installed on
your system but is embedded or subsetted in the PDF, you can make changes only to color, word spacing, character
spacing, baseline offset, or font size.
