Learn how to change existing text, add new content, and remove text from your PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.
In the Edit pane, select Text under Add Content.
To replace existing text, click on the text and then type new content.
To add new text, click where you want to add text and start typing when a blinking cursor appears.
Note
Use the FORMAT TEXT options to adjust font, size, color, alignment, and other text properties.
To delete text, select it and press Delete (macOS) or Backspace (Windows).
Select outside the text box to apply the changes.
Note
To edit text using a specific font, you must have that font installed on your computer. If the font isn't installed but is embedded in the PDF, you can only change the text's color or size.
