The tool for pages you cannot edit.

Adding text and editing text are different jobs. Editing replaces glyphs that are already on the page and has to match their font and position. Adding text puts new words where there were none, which is what you want for a scanned form, a printed template, a date on a contract, a label on a diagram, or a note in a margin.

A text box here is a real object, not a sticker. Set its font, size, colour, alignment, bold and italic, give it a background colour when it needs to sit over existing artwork, then drag or resize it with the Select tool until it lines up. Snapping to page edges, page centres and other objects on the page keeps a column of labels actually aligned rather than approximately aligned.

On export the text is written into the PDF as text, so it can be selected, searched and copied by whoever opens the file, and it stays sharp at any zoom level instead of blurring the way a pasted image would.

Questions about this tool.

The things worth knowing before you edit the document.

Can I add text to a scanned PDF?

Yes. A text box does not need an existing text layer, so it works on scans and image-only pages where inline editing has nothing to click.

Which fonts can I use?

The standard PDF font families, in regular, bold, italic and bold italic, which every PDF reader can display without embedding a font file. That keeps the export small and guarantees it looks the same on the recipient’s machine.

Can I move the text after typing it?

Yes. Switch to the Select tool and drag the box, resize it from its handles, nudge it with Alt and the arrow keys, or reopen it to change the wording and styling. Click an existing box to edit it again at any time.

Is the added text selectable in the exported PDF?

Yes. It is written as real text, so it can be selected, copied and found by search in any PDF reader, and it stays crisp at every zoom level.
