SimplifiedPDF is designed to *add* new text, images, and signatures to a PDF. It cannot currently delete or change existing text that is part of the original document, but you can cover existing text with a white box and type over it.
Many PDF forms are 'flat' and don't have clickable boxes. SimplifiedPDF solves this by letting you click anywhere to create a text box. You can then align your text to sit perfectly on the lines of the form.
We offer a selection of standard, professional fonts including Helvetica, Times New Roman, Courier, and Courier New equivalents to ensure your additions look like part of the original official document.
Your changes are saved automatically to your browser's local storage as you work. You can close the tab and come back later to finish (as long as you don't clear your browser cache).
No account. No subscription. No nonsense.
