Editing text
You can perform minor corrections to a PDF document using the TouchUp Text tool. You
can edit text, and you can edit a variety of properties, including font, font size and
horizontal scale, word and character spacing, baseline offset or shift, fill and stroke
characteristics, and font embedding and subsetting.
You must have an included font installed on your system in order to edit text. If the font is
embedded in the document, you can change the properties of existing text but cannot add
or replace text. (See
Embedding or unembedding fonts using the TouchUp Text tool
.)
The TouchUp Text tool cannot be used with form fields.
Certain security features prevent a PDF document from being edited. In these instances,
the TouchUp Text tool is not available. Contact the author of the PDF document to make
changes.
Using the TouchUp Text tool may affect how the document reflows, which can make the
document less accessible to the visually impaired.
You can edit text on rotated lines in the same way as on horizontal lines, and you can edit
text using vertical fonts in the same way as text using horizontal fonts. The baseline offset
or shift for vertical fonts is left and right, instead of up and down for horizontal fonts.
