Examples

See what PatchPDF changes, and what it leaves alone.

Every example below comes from the same downloadable test PDF and is rerun with the current version of PatchPDF.

Edited PDF showing sunlight in place of daylight.

Rendered check passed

A word corrected in place

Change “daylight” to “sunlight”.

The new word stayed on the same line and the surrounding text remained in place.

Edited PDF with a longer phrase reflowed inside the paragraph.

Rendered check passed

A longer phrase reflowed across lines

Change “quieter” to “more private”.

Nearby words moved across lines while the paragraph stayed inside its original area.

Original PDF left unchanged after an ambiguous request.

No change made

An ambiguous target was left alone

Change “the” to “a”.

Because several words matched, PatchPDF asked for a more specific target instead of guessing.

PatchPDF checks that the requested text appears and fits in the rendered page. Verification checks the rendered edit, not whether the new wording is correct. These are controlled examples, not a guarantee for every PDF.

Make the correction without rebuilding the PDF.
