Overtype — PDF Text Editor

Fix a typo, change a date, delete a line. Edit the real text inside any PDF, in its own font. No uploads, no subscription.

You searched "how to edit text in a PDF", installed a free editor, and got a text box floating on top of the page in the wrong font, while the old text stayed right where it was. That is not editing. That is a sticky note. Overtype edits the text that is already there. Click a word, type, done. The original letters are removed from the page and the new ones are drawn in the document's own font, so the line re-wraps and nobody can tell it was touched. WHAT YOU CAN FIX • Fix a typo in a PDF: a misspelled name on a contract, a wrong figure in an invoice, a stray word in a report. • Change a date on a PDF without recreating the whole document. • Delete text from a PDF for real. The words are gone from the file, not hidden under a white box. • Replace text in a PDF without Adobe Acrobat, and without paying every month for the one edit you need this year. • Fill out a PDF that isn't fillable: click anywhere and type in the matching font, or add real form fields for someone else to fill in. • Rewrite a whole paragraph and watch it re-flow like a word processor. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the PDF in Chrome, or drop it into Overtype. 2. Click "Edit this PDF", then click the text you want to change. 3. Type. Save. The file is written to a new copy; your original is never overwritten. WHAT ELSE IS IN THE BOX • Select and copy text straight off the page, like any viewer. • Export to Word: the whole document as an editable .docx, converted on your computer (Pro). • Redaction that removes the text from the file, then verifies it is gone. • Fill existing forms: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns. • Whiteout, highlights, shapes, arrows, freehand pen, signatures, images. • Pages: merge, split, reorder, rotate, crop, insert, delete, resize. • Page numbers, Bates numbering, watermarks, document properties. • Reduce file size. Recolor to grayscale, sepia, or black and white. • Find and replace across the whole document. • Scanned PDF? Built-in OCR runs on your computer and makes the text editable, matched to the scan's size and typeface so edits blend in. • A "Show changes" view that highlights exactly what you altered. • Undo everything. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER Overtype runs entirely inside Chrome. No uploads, no account, no tracking, no server. Contracts, medical forms, and pay stubs stay on your machine. That is why it works offline too. FREE, THEN $29.99 ONCE Every tool is free. The free plan includes 10 clean exports a month; after that, exports still work but carry a small "Edited with Overtype" line in the margin. Pro removes the line forever and adds Export to Word, for a single payment of $29.99. No subscription, no renewal, no account. WHO IT IS FOR Freelancers fixing a client's name on a contract. Students correcting a submission at 11:58 pm. Small businesses changing a price on a quote. Anyone who has typed "edit PDF text free" and been handed a text box.
