Change the text that is already there
To change existing words instead of adding new ones, choose Edit text and click a line in the PDF; it becomes editable so you can retype it. For scanned pages, which are pictures of text, cover the old words with Whiteout and type the new ones on top.
Write in Urdu, Arabic and more
More than 150 fonts are available, including Noto Naskh Arabic and Noto Sans Arabic for Urdu and Arabic. Letters are joined correctly in the downloaded PDF.
