In Photoshop  |  Last Updated on Wed, 25 May 2016

In this tutorial I show you how to Edit PDF files or document using Photoshop.

Step 1.

At first open the PDF file with Photoshop what you want to edit.



Now when Photoshop is opened there is a window comes up that is Import PDF. Here you can see all pages of your PDF file. Here select the page what you want to edit and press Ok button.





Step 2.

After open the file check it there is any background or not. Here in the image you see only the text is visible and there is no background.



So here I going to add a white background. To do so go to Layers panel and hit Create a new layer icon.



That is create a new layer (layer 2) in top of the list. Now drag layer 2 under the layer 1.



But layer 2 is now transparent. So create layer 2 as background fill it with colour. To do so, set your foreground colour to white and select Paint bucket tool.





Now make sure that the layer 2 is selected,



now click anywhere in the document to colour it.



Background colour is now successfully added and we clearly see the texts.



Step 3.

In this tutorial I show you how to edit a PDF, that means how to change text or add text to it.
Here I change the text ciphers to abcde.


 

At first I type the text abcde. To do so select text tool and type your text.





After typing your text resize it, change its font style to match it with this document.





Step 4.

Now replace the old text (ciphers) with the new text (abcde). To do so first we have to erase the old text (ciphers). To do this select Eraser tool,



and make sure that the document text layer is selected. Here the layer 1 is the document text layer.



Now erase old text (ciphers).





After erasing old text (ciphers) move the new text (abcde) to its place. To do so select Move tool and make sure that the new text layer (abcde) is selected,





now click and drag the text to move it to the right position.





 

Step 5.

When you done your editing save the document to PDF. To do so go to File and from the dropdown list select Save as.



Now a new Save as window comes up here select Format as Photoshop PDF and hit Save button.



Now a new Save Adobe PDF window comes up here hit on Save PDF button. Now your document is successfully saved.



Now open the PDF to verify it.
