Question 1

Why can't I edit the text in my PDF?

Accepted Answer

The most common reason why you can't edit text in your PDF is because you have a scanned PDF file.

Scanned PDFs are treated as images, meaning that you can't select or edit text within the file without OCR technology.

If you're looking to overcome these limitations, consider using Xodo tools. First, use the online OCR converter to turn your scanned, non-editable PDF into a searchable PDF. Then, easily edit and update PDF text directly in your browser with our PDF Text Editor.

Simply select the PDF file you want to update and use the online PDF Text Editor to update, edit, or delete text. Click on the desired paragraph and start typing, formatting, or adding hyperlinks to the text as needed.

Question 4

How can I edit text in a scanned PDF file?

Accepted Answer

To edit text in a scanned PDF file, you first need to make the document editable with the help of Xodo's OCR converter. Optical Character Recognition inside Xodo will extract text from your scanned PDF and turn it into a PDF you can then update and modify.
