Multilingual PDF editor for text, images, signatures and annotations

This browser-based PDF editor online supports adding and formatting Unicode text in 15 languages. It works as an Arabic PDF editor, Hindi PDF editor, Chinese PDF editor, Japanese PDF editor, Korean PDF editor, Russian PDF editor and Latin-language PDF text editor without changing the established visual editing workflow.

You can add text to a PDF, replace a supported detected line with new visible text, choose language and direction, change the font, size, bold, italic, colour and alignment, insert logos or photos, add a signature, draw freehand, place rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows, or cover an area with whiteout.

Automatic script detection switches to a suitable Noto font for Arabic, Devanagari, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic and Vietnamese text. Arabic uses right-to-left layout, while English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Indonesian, Turkish, Italian, Korean and Vietnamese use the appropriate language and writing-system metadata.

Every added object can be selected, moved, resized, rotated and removed. Undo and Redo preserve a bounded editing history, while page thumbnails, direct page navigation, zoom controls and Fit Width help review a multi-page document before export.

The editor modifies a new output copy rather than overwriting the original file. Source page content is reused where practical, while multilingual text, images, drawings, shapes, signatures and whiteout objects are applied during PDF generation.

PDF text editing support for 15 languages

Choose a language manually or leave the selector on Auto detect. The editor uses script-aware fonts, language metadata, Unicode text handling and right-to-left direction where required.

How multilingual PDF text rendering works

The Language control appears when a text object is selected. Auto detect recognizes Arabic, Devanagari, Han, Japanese kana, Hangul, Cyrillic, Vietnamese and Turkish characters. For Latin-script languages that share many characters, manual selection records the intended language while preserving the normal text-editing workflow.

Language-specific fonts are loaded only when needed. Arabic uses Noto Sans Arabic, Hindi uses Noto Sans Devanagari, Simplified Chinese uses Noto Sans SC, Japanese uses Noto Sans JP and Korean uses Noto Sans KR. Russian and Vietnamese use Noto Sans coverage, while the existing English font choices remain available.

The preview and exported PDF use the same browser text rendering path so contextual Arabic forms, Hindi conjuncts, CJK glyphs, accents and mixed-language strings retain their visible appearance. Added text is flattened into the page appearance during export for consistency; it may not remain separately selectable as a new PDF text object.

Common PDF editing uses

Complete document details

Add a missing name, date, reference number, address or short answer to a non-interactive PDF page.

Correct visible wording

Replace a supported detected line when a spelling error, outdated value or short label needs a visual correction.

Sign and approve documents

Place a signature or initials on agreements, approval pages, forms and acknowledgements.

Mark assignments and reports

Add text, arrows, shapes and drawings to show corrections, feedback or areas requiring attention.

Add branding

Insert a logo, stamp or small image and position it on the relevant page.

Cover non-sensitive mistakes

Use whiteout for visual cleanup when secure redaction is not required.

Privacy, output accuracy and limitations

The page-specific editor reads and processes the selected PDF in the browser. It does not add a document-upload endpoint or permanent document storage. The selected file, extracted page text, signatures, images and generated PDF are not intentionally sent to analytics.

Existing-text replacement is best effort. PDF text is often stored as positioned glyph runs rather than editable paragraphs. The editor detects supported horizontal text lines, visually covers the original rendering and places replacement text using an available compatible language font. Complex layouts, unusual encodings, embedded subsets, vertical text, outlined letters and scanned pages may not support accurate replacement.

Multilingual text depends on the required web font loading successfully. Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts are loaded on demand. If a required font cannot load because the network, content blocker or browser policy blocks it, export stops with a useful message instead of silently producing missing-glyph boxes.

Added multilingual text is visually flattened during export. This protects shaping and preview fidelity across the supported writing systems, but newly added text may not remain independently searchable or selectable in the downloaded PDF.

Whiteout is not secure redaction. It places a visible white cover over content. Do not use it to remove confidential information because underlying PDF text or objects may remain recoverable.

Any PDF modification can affect document-level features. Digital signatures may become invalid, and complex forms, bookmarks, links, attachments, optional layers or unusual annotations may not behave exactly as before. Review the downloaded PDF in the reader used by the recipient.

There is no artificial page-count or file-size limit in the interface. Practical capacity depends on available browser memory, page complexity, embedded images and the user’s device. Very large image-heavy files can be slower or may fail on lower-memory phones.

For secure removal of confidential content, use a dedicated redaction workflow rather than visual whiteout.

PDF Editor troubleshooting

The PDF is rejected or does not open.
Use a complete, unlocked PDF rather than a renamed or partial file. Password-protected, damaged or unusually encoded PDFs may not open. Close memory-heavy tabs and try again.
A page is slow to render.
Image-heavy PDFs and documents with many pages require more browser memory. Wait for rendering to finish, close other tabs, use a desktop browser when possible or edit a smaller source document.
Existing text cannot be selected for editing.
The page may be a scan, the text may use an unsupported encoding, or the content may be split into unusual glyph runs. Use Add Text with a visual whiteout cover, or edit the source document in its original authoring application.
An inserted object is difficult to move or resize.
Choose Move, select the object, then drag the object or its resize handles. On a phone, open the Properties panel and zoom the page for more precise placement.
The downloaded result looks different from the preview.
Font substitution, page rotation, transparency and complex PDF content can affect output. Return to editing, adjust the object and generate a new preview. Review the final file in a standard PDF reader.
A multilingual font does not load.
Allow fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, disable a restrictive content blocker for this page and try again. The editor prevents export when a required Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese or Korean font is unavailable.
Arabic text appears in the wrong direction.
Select the text object, choose Arabic in Language and keep Text direction on Automatic or select Right to left. Use right alignment when matching an Arabic line.
Chinese, Japanese or Korean text wraps unexpectedly.
Resize the text box, choose the correct CJK language and allow its font to finish loading. The editor uses language-aware segmentation, but line breaks still depend on the width of the selected text box.
The download does not start.
Allow downloads for CorrectionCopy, close restrictive content blockers, keep the preview open and select Download PDF again. Some mobile browsers place the file in their Downloads or Files application.

PDF Editor FAQ

Can I edit text already inside a PDF?
The Edit Text control can replace supported visible horizontal text lines. This is a best-effort visual replacement rather than full paragraph reflow, so unusual fonts, scans and complex layouts may require Add Text instead.
Which PDF editing languages are supported?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Indonesian, Turkish, Italian, Korean and Vietnamese are supported for adding, formatting, previewing and exporting text.
Can I edit Arabic PDF text from right to left?
Yes. Choose Arabic or use automatic script detection. The text object receives Arabic language metadata, right-to-left direction and Noto Sans Arabic rendering. Existing Arabic PDF text replacement remains best effort because PDF text extraction varies by file.
Can I edit Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean PDF text?
Yes for adding and formatting new text. The editor loads Noto Sans Devanagari, Noto Sans SC, Noto Sans JP or Noto Sans KR when required. Replacement of existing digital text is best effort, and scanned pages still require visual overlay editing.
Can I add text to a scanned PDF?
Yes. A scanned page is treated as a background image, and you can place multilingual text, signatures, drawings, shapes or whiteout objects over it. This workflow does not perform OCR or convert the scan into real editable source text.
Can I add an image or logo?
Yes. Select Image, choose a supported image file and then move, resize or rotate it on the current PDF page.
Can I sign a PDF?
Yes. The Sign control supports a drawn signature, typed signature style or uploaded signature image. Place and resize the result before previewing the PDF.
Does the editor securely redact information?
No. Whiteout only covers content visually. It does not guarantee removal of underlying text, images, metadata or objects and must not be used for confidential redaction.
Does editing reduce PDF quality?
The editor reuses the original PDF and applies new page objects where practical rather than intentionally converting every page to an image. Added multilingual text is rendered as a high-resolution transparent page overlay for shaping fidelity, which can affect file size but preserves the visible text appearance.
Will newly added multilingual text remain selectable?
Not necessarily. To preserve Arabic shaping, Hindi combinations and CJK glyph appearance consistently, added text is flattened into the exported page appearance. The original digital PDF text remains part of the source PDF unless it was visually covered.
Are my PDF and signature uploaded?
This page-specific workflow processes the document in the current browser and does not add a file-upload or permanent-storage endpoint. Do not continue if your browser environment or network policy does not allow the required external code dependencies.
Which browsers are supported?
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari releases with JavaScript, Canvas, File, Blob and download support are expected to work. Older browsers and restrictive content blockers may prevent the editor from loading.
Can I edit password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are not supported by this editor. Unlock the file with authorization before editing it.
What filename is used for the download?
The downloaded filename begins with correctioncopy.com_, followed by a safe source-based name and -edited.pdf.
