1
Can I edit existing text in a PDF?
Yes, when the PDF contains a supported native text run. The editor verifies and removes the selected source region, then writes searchable replacement text.
Native PDF text editor
Edit PDF
Edit supported text, add content, images, links and markup, manage pages, then review a verified edited PDF before download.
Direct edit where the PDF allows it
Supported native text is verified, removed, and rewritten through the Nexynto Tools processor. Scanned or outlined text is never presented as safely editable.

Edit supported native text
Select a detected run, preserve its measured size and position, review the font match, and export searchable replacement text.
Quiet, contextual editing
Text targets stay invisible until hover or focus, and properties appear only after a text run is selected.
Export without flattening pages
Nexynto Tools rewrites verified text on the original PDF pages, preserving page quality and avoiding screenshot-style output.

Direct answers about visual editing, privacy, output quality and when to use redaction instead.
2
Will edited text keep the original font?
The editor reuses the embedded font when it contains every required glyph. If it does not, you must explicitly choose a compatible replacement font.
3
Can I add new text?
Yes. Added text remains crisp, searchable and selectable in the exported PDF.
4
Can I edit images?
You can insert, move, resize, rotate, duplicate and adjust PNG, JPEG or WebP images. Reliable replacement of arbitrary existing PDF images is not currently exposed.
5
Can I add links?
Yes. Supported URL links can be added, updated or removed and are checked after export.
6
Can I edit scanned PDFs?
Scanned pages use a separate OCR-assisted workflow because pixels do not provide the native font and glyph data required for direct text replacement.
7
Does editing flatten the PDF?
No. Nexynto writes PDF objects and annotations onto the original pages and does not turn unaffected pages into screenshots.
8
Will text remain searchable?
Supported replacements and added text remain searchable. The final PDF is reopened and checked before the verified result is shown.
9
Can I edit PDF pages?
Yes. You can rotate, delete, duplicate, and insert blank pages with undo and redo before saving.
10
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Overlay-only work stays in the browser. Native-text replacements use Nexynto’s temporary processor so the original text can be removed safely before the browser completes export.
11
Is whiteout the same as redaction?
No. Whiteout hides content visually but may leave searchable content underneath. Use Redact PDF for permanent removal.
Important distinction
Direct text edits remove only the verified selected source region. Use Redact PDF when the goal is secure information removal.
