Type Anywhere on Your PDF

PDFs are often read-only, making it frustrating when you need to fill out a form or leave a quick note. Our Add Text to PDF tool solves this by allowing you to type directly onto any document. Unlike basic editors, PDFFans gives you full word-processing control: choose your font, adjust size and color, and position the text exactly where you want it. Whether you are filling a job application, adding a disclaimer to a report, or writing Arabic notes with full RTL support, we make it simple and free.

Why Use This Text Adder?

FAQ: Adding Text to PDF Documents

Q: Can I type in Arabic?

A: Yes! Our tool supports Unicode, allowing you to type in Arabic and other languages with correct direction (RTL) and character shaping.

Q: Can I edit existing text in the PDF?

A: This tool allows you to add new text. To change existing text, you would typically cover it with a white box and type over it, or use our "Edit PDF" tool.

Q: Does it work on scanned documents?

A: Absolutely. Since the text is added as a new layer on top of the page, it works perfectly on scanned images and flattened PDFs.
