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.
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.
