Can I fix a typo in a PDF without the Word file?

Yes. TweakPDF edits the PDF itself: click the misspelled word, type it correctly and save. You do not need the document the PDF was made from.

Will the corrected word be in the same font?

Yes. It is drawn with the font embedded in the PDF, at the same size and color. If the file lacks a letter you typed, TweakPDF looks for it in another copy of the same font in the document, and the preview warns you if one character had to come from a similar font.

Can I fix several typos at once?

Yes. Correct as many words as you need, on any page, and download the file once at the end. It counts as one file.

Can I fix a typo in a PDF on my phone?

Yes. TweakPDF works in the browser on iPhone, iPad and Android as well as on computers: tap the word, type it right and save.

Yes, 3 files a month are free. You open, fix and preview the file without an account and sign in with Google only to download. Pro costs $6 a month for up to 1000 files.

No. The file is deleted from the server two hours after you stop working, or right away when you press Delete file now.

Why a typo in a PDF is awkward to fix

A PDF is a finished page, not a draft. Most viewers let you comment on it, highlight it or put a text box on top, but not change a letter that is already printed.

The usual way round is to go back to the source, fix it there and export again. That works when you have the source. When all you have is the PDF someone sent you, or the export from a tool you no longer use, you need to edit the PDF itself, and most editors that can do that set the corrected word in a different font.

What a good fix looks like

Same font, size and color
The corrected word is drawn with the font embedded in the PDF, so it matches the words around it.
Same line
It sits on the original baseline, and the spacing is adjusted so the rest of the line stays where it was.
The misspelling is gone
The wrong letters are deleted from the file, so searching the PDF for the old spelling finds nothing.
Nothing else moves
Only the text you change is rewritten. Images, tables, other pages and the layout stay as they were.

The typos people fix most

A name spelled wrong on a certificate, a letter or a contract. A swapped digit in a phone number, an invoice number or an amount. The wrong month in a date. A doubled word or a missing letter in a CV heading, noticed just before applying.

Keep the correction close to the length of the original. TweakPDF changes text in place and does not reflow paragraphs, so a fix of a word or two fits, while rewriting a whole sentence is a job for the source file.

If the PDF is a scan

A scanned page is a picture, so there are no letters to edit. Draw a frame over the misspelled word: TweakPDF fills that area from the paper around it, picks the typeface, size and weight closest to the printed letters, and draws the corrected word into the image.

How to check the typo is really gone

Open the downloaded PDF and search for the old spelling with Ctrl+F, or Cmd+F on a Mac. A real fix leaves nothing to find. Then zoom in on the line: the corrected word should have the same letter shapes and sit on the same baseline as its neighbors.
