How to Edit a PDF for Free

Add text overlays using page numbers, coordinates and font sizes.

Quick steps

  1. Open the Edit tool. Go to pdfoncall.com/edit.
  2. Add your PDF. Drop the file — nothing uploaded.
  3. Add a text note. Click Add text note, enter its text, then set the page, X/Y coordinates and font size.
  4. Download. Save the edited PDF.

What you can edit

  • Add new text on top of the page.
  • Set the page number and position for each text note.
  • Adjust note font size before downloading.
  • Existing text, images and interactive form fields are not editable here. Use Sign PDF for a drawn signature.

When to use another editor

Use a fuller editor when you need to replace existing text, fill interactive forms, redact sensitive content, or preserve a complex layout. This tool adds text overlays only.
