Edit PDF text with the same font
Change a word, a date or an amount in a PDF without changing the font. TweakPDF sets the new text in the font already embedded in the file, at the same size and on the same line, so the correction matches the rest of the page.

Why most PDF editors change the font
A PDF is not a Word document. It usually carries only part of each font: the letters the document happened to use, often in a form other programs cannot type with. Most online editors give up on it and set your new text in Arial or Helvetica, or draw a white box over the old word and type on top.
The result is easy to spot: a slightly different typeface, a word that sits a little off the line, and the old text still in the file, where search and copy-paste find it.
How TweakPDF keeps the same font
Same font, size and color
The new text is drawn with the font embedded in the PDF itself, not with a look-alike.
Same line
The new word sits on the original baseline, and the spacing is adjusted so the rest of the line does not move.
The old text is gone
The replaced characters are deleted from the file, not covered, so search and copy-paste show only the new text.
Missing letters, handled openly
If the embedded font lacks a letter you typed, TweakPDF first borrows it from another copy of the same font in the document. Only a character the file truly lacks is set in the closest matching font, and the preview tells you so before you download.
Scanned PDFs
A scan is a picture of a page, so there is no font in the file to reuse. Draw a box over the old value: TweakPDF refills that area from the paper around it, picks the typeface, size and weight closest to the printed letters, and draws the new value into the image itself.
What people fix with it
A typo in a contract or a letter. A date or a deadline. A name, an address or an email. An amount, an invoice number or a reference. A line in a CV just before sending it.
TweakPDF replaces text that is already on the page. It does not switch text to a different font, change the layout, add pages, fill forms or convert files.

Questions about keeping the font
- Is the new text really in the same font?
- Yes. It is drawn with the font embedded in the PDF, at the size and color of the text you replace, not with a similar font. The one exception is a character the file does not contain at all; see the next answer.
- What if the font in the PDF is missing a letter?
- A PDF often holds only the letters it uses. TweakPDF looks for a missing letter in other copies of the same font in the document. If none has it, that character alone is set in the closest matching font, and the preview warns you before you download.
- Can I change the text to a different font?
- No. TweakPDF is built to keep the font that is already there. To restyle a whole document, change the font in its source file, such as Word or Google Docs, and export a new PDF.
- Is it free?
- Yes, 3 files a month are free. You edit and preview without an account and sign in with Google only to download. Pro costs $6 a month for up to 1000 files.
- Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?
- Yes. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install: Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on a computer, a tablet or a phone.
- Do you keep my file?
- No. Files are deleted from the server two hours after you stop working, or right away when you press Delete file now.
