Edit text
You can use the Edit tool to modify text and object directly without having to open the original document in another application. The features let you edit your PDF file on a small scale, for example correcting typos, changing font size, and adjusting paragraph layout.
An object is selected using Edit tool. The Format sidebar to the right shows Edit Text section (A) and Edit Object section (B).

Using the Edit Text section (A) in the Format sidebar to the right, you can select a font, font size, a fill color, or another font in the Font section, as well as adjust text alignment, line spacing, character spacing and horizontal scaling.

Move: move your cursor over the frame of a bounding box and you will see a four-headed Move pointer. Drag the box to the desired location.

Note: if the PDF contains fonts which are not yet embedded and installed in the system, you will not be able to edit text using the original font. Right PDF will attempt to use a similar font as replacement.
