## About

Add Text to PDF writes one or more lines of text onto the page you choose — or every page at once — with control over font, size, color, opacity, and precise placement. It is the lightweight alternative to a full PDF editor when you just need to stamp a label or drop in a correction.

The text becomes real PDF content rendered exactly like the rest of the document — selectable, searchable, and print-sharp. Everything runs locally in your browser.

## How to use

1. **Choose the PDF** — Pick the document to annotate.
2. **Type the text** — Choose the page, position, size, and color.
3. **Apply and download** — The text is written into the PDF.

## FAQ

### Can I add text to every page at once?

Yes — switch the target to "all pages" and the same text is written at the same position on every page, like a header or footer.

### Is the text selectable and searchable?

Yes — it is real PDF text, not an image overlay. Readers can select, copy, and search it.

### Which fonts are supported?

The standard PDF fonts: Helvetica (regular and bold), Times-Roman, and Courier. They require no font downloads and work in every viewer.

### Can I add several separate labels?

One run adds one text block (which can span multiple lines). Apply the tool multiple times with different positions to build up several labels.
