The problem

One wrong word - a date, a spelling, a city - in an otherwise finished PDF. Most phone editors let you draw a white box over it and type on top, and the original is still underneath.

What SahiScan does

In Edit PDF, tap Edit text, tap the line and type what it should say. The old words are taken out of the file and the new ones put in their place.

The details that matter

Questions people ask

Can I change the existing text in a PDF?

Yes. In Edit PDF, tap Edit text, tap the line and type what it should say. The old words come out of the file.

What about a scanned PDF?

Use Read this page first, so the words on the scan can be found, then tap the line you want to change.

Will it match the font?

It keeps the size and lets you choose a similar style, so the corrected line sits in with the rest.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool in SahiScan is free, with no trial and no watermark on anything you make.
