You can realistically make only minor text changes in a PDF document. If you need to do more than fix a spelling error or change a few words, make those changes in the software that created the original document.

To make those minor changes:

• Open the document in PDFill PDF Editor Professional using File - New Project to Open a New PDF.
• From the Edit menu, choose "Select Original Texts - Select Original Texts". You will see blue outlines around the various text areas on the document.
• Drag your cursor over all of the text in the blue box that contains the text you want to change. The selected text will be highlighted with a red border.
• Right-click on the selected text and choose "Replace with New SingleLine Text". A striped text edit box will show over the selected text.
• Within the text edit box, drag your cursor to select the text you want to operate on. You can type over, delete, or style what you selected (it will be highlighted in blue).
• With your cursor still in the text edit box, click on the PDF button that is on the left or the one near the top just below the menu. The Save PDF Options box will open. You do not need to change any options. Just click on "Save PDF as" and save it with a name and in a place on your computer where you will be able to find it. It is probably best not to save on top of your original document at this point. If you have additional changes to make, keep the document open.
• The revised file will open in your PDF reader. Review to make sure it is as expected.

You can make additional changes one at a time, following the above procedure. If your document is more than one page, you can move among the pages using the thumbnails that you see if you click on the thumbnail icon (4 little boxes) either on the left menu or the second row of icons at the top.

A fillable PDF is one that has boxes for data to be entered, i.e., it is a form that can be typed into. Begin with a document that is already a PDF.

• Open PDFill PDF Editor Professional.
• Open the document in PDFill PDF Editor Professional using File - "New Project to Open a New PDF".
• From the menu at the top, choose Forms, then "Form Field Recognition by Clicking" then the type of box on your form that you want to make fillable. Most likely these will be "Text field inside a box", "Text field over a line", and "Checkbox inside a box". Work with one type at a time.
• Click inside the boxes on your form that match the type you have selected. They will turn pink.
• Repeat the previous two steps for each type of fillable field on your form.
• Navigate to among the pages of the form by using the Thumbnail Toolbar, which can be opened using the icon on the left that looks like four pages. It is below the PDF icon.
• Click on the PDF button that is available both on the top and on the left to save the fillable PDF.
• Open the new document to make sure it works as intended.
