LaTeX papers
PDFs from LaTeX often embed fonts with only the characters used. Small corrections usually work; longer additions are best made in the source.
Add supplements
Combine the paper with supplementary material using Merge PDF.
Questions people ask
+What if the new sentence is longer?
The paragraph rewraps and everything below it moves down evenly. If the page is full, the overflow continues on a new page.
+Can I edit equations?
Equations are drawn from many small pieces and are best changed in the source document.
