PDF Editor FAQ
Can I change the existing text in a PDF?
Yes. Choose Edit text and click the line you want to change. Type the new words and Craftora removes the old text from the file and writes your new text in a closely matching font. Text in scanned pages is a picture, so use White out and Add text for those.
Can I fill in PDF forms?
Yes. If the PDF has form fields, they show as blue boxes. Click a field to type, tick boxes or pick an option. You can also lock the answers by flattening the form when you download.
Is it safe to edit private documents here?
Yes. The editor runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your PDF is never uploaded to Craftora or anyone else.
How is this different from Adobe Acrobat, Smallpdf or Sejda?
Acrobat needs a paid plan to edit text, and Smallpdf and Sejda upload your file to their servers and limit free use. Craftora edits the file on your device and never adds a watermark.
Will the edited PDF look the same in other readers?
Yes. Text, drawings, highlights and images are written into the page itself, so they show the same in Adobe Reader, Chrome, Edge, Preview and phone apps. Comments appear as sticky notes.
