Text annotations

Add text above a PDF

CrabPDF lets you place new text on top of the PDF page without editing the original text stream. It is useful for notes, labels, quick corrections, and visible additions.

How it works

Open a PDF and switch to Annotate mode.

Choose the text tool, click a page, and type into the inline HTML input.

Move, style, rotate, or double-click added text to edit it again.

Download to flatten the annotation into the exported PDF.
