Add text to PDF in your browser
Sometimes you need to write on a PDF rather than change it: fill a gap in a form that has no fields, label a drawing, add a date or a note. Type your words in the side panel, drag a box on the page where they should go, and choose the font, size and colour.
The words are added as real text, so they can be searched and copied, and you can click them later to retype, restyle or move them. It works on scanned pages too, where the text sits on top of the scan.
