Add Text to PDF

Place visible text — names, dates, initials, reference numbers, short notes — onto a PDF's existing pages. This is not a general PDF editor and doesn't rewrite existing paragraph text. Processing happens in this browser — your file is not uploaded to JCF Labs.

Drag and drop a file here, or click to browse.

Password-protected or encrypted PDFs can't be processed by this tool. Only the three built-in fonts above are available — custom uploaded fonts aren't supported.

About this tool

Purpose
Places visible text — names, dates, initials, notes — onto a PDF's pages.
Try this
Upload a PDF and click where you want to add text.
Expected result
The PDF with your text placed exactly where you positioned it.
Privacy
Your file is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a JCF server.
Limitations
This places plain visible text only — it isn't a form-filling tool for interactive PDF form fields.
