Change a word in a user manual PDF

Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Swap one word for another straight in the PDF, in the same font, size and colour as the words around it.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • A longer word can push the rest of the line along or wrap it onto the next line, just as a word processor would.
  • • Words in bold or underlined keep that style when you retype them.

Swap a screenshot

Remove an outdated screenshot and add the new one in its place.

Chapters as files

Use Split PDF with custom ranges to create one file per chapter.

Questions people ask

+Can I replace the same word everywhere?

Edit each place where it appears. Each edit keeps its own line's layout.

+Can I update the table of contents?

Yes, it's text. Update the page numbers if chapters moved.
