  2. Download your new Office file.
  3. Open your ex-PDF file, make your edits, and save.
  4. Use the appropriate Office-to-PDF converter to turn the Word, PPT, or Excel file back to PDF.

How to Type on a PDF

 

There are plenty of times you might find yourself in need of our Edit PDF tool. You could be filling in a form on a PDF and want a PDF filler, or maybe you need to type on a PDF to share notes with a student or colleague. When we need a tool in a hurry, it’s usually to fill in PDF forms due soon—it’s simple and straightforward.

At the same time, using the longer process can give you more options in terms of changes and edits if you need to make big changes. You’ll have a broader range of tools to edit text, adjust font size, and add or remove text or images from your written documents.

With the myriad document types saved in PDF, such as PDF forms, contracts, and written school assignments, you should opt for the option that best serves your needs. But whichever method you choose, you can use one of our conversion tools to convert Word, Excel, PPT, and other file types to PDF.
