Can I edit a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?

Yes. Rifix Edit PDF lets you click any text in your PDF and edit it directly in your browser. No software download or Adobe Acrobat subscription needed.

Are my files private when I edit a PDF?

Your PDF never leaves your device. All processing happens entirely in your browser using local APIs, so your documents stay completely private.

Can I edit text directly in a PDF?

Yes. Click on any existing text in the PDF to open the inline editor. You can replace, delete, or modify the text directly. Changes are applied when you click Save Changes.

Can I add new text to a PDF?

Yes. Use the Add Text tool to draw a text box anywhere on the page. Choose font, size, colour and background colour before applying.

Does editing a PDF change the original file?

The original file on your device is never modified. Rifix works on a copy in memory. Download the edited PDF when done and save it as a new file.

Can I edit scanned PDFs?

You can use OCR Scan first to make the text selectable, then use the editor. Alternatively, use Add Text to overlay new text on the scanned image.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit any PDF file?

You can edit most standard PDFs including contracts, invoices, forms, certificates, and reports. Scanned PDFs (image-only files) require OCR first — use the Rifix OCR tool to convert scanned pages to searchable text before editing.

Will my edited PDF look professional?

Yes. Rifix auto-detects the original font name, size, and colour from the PDF and applies the closest match when you type. For most standard PDFs this produces a seamless result that is indistinguishable from the original.

Is the PDF editor really free?

Yes. Rifix PDF Editor is completely free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no watermarks. There are no limits on file size or number of edits.

Is my document safe? Does it get uploaded anywhere?

Your PDF never leaves your device. All editing, rendering, and export happens entirely in your browser. Rifix has no file upload endpoints — you can verify this by opening your browser's Network panel while editing. Zero bytes of your document are transmitted.

Can I undo my edits?

Yes. Press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo the last edit. Rifix keeps a full undo history for the current session, so you can step back through multiple changes.

What is the difference between inline edit and Add Text?

Inline edit replaces existing text in the PDF — it covers the original word and paints your new text in its place. Add Text draws a new text box over the page, useful for filling blank areas or adding content that wasn't in the original PDF.

Can I edit PDFs on my phone?

Yes. Rifix PDF Editor is fully optimised for mobile. The interface uses a persistent toolbar and side panel designed for touch, with large tap targets and a side-by-side view for editing and properties.
