fyllyoSame font when it can
Fyllyo uses the PDF’s own font when it already has every letter you typed. Otherwise it uses the same font from your Mac, or the closest one, and tells you when it had to.
Edit the text in a PDF. In the same font.
Select the words, type the new ones, and the paragraph re-flows around them in the same font, so the change doesn’t stand out. It happens on your Mac, and it’s part of Fyllyo Paid, $99 once.

How to do it in Fyllyo
Select the words
Drag across the text you want to change, within one line.
Choose Tools, then Edit text…
The Edit text window shows what you selected.
Type the new words and choose Apply
The paragraph re-flows to fit, in the same font, and anything below moves down if it needs another line.
Save
To put it back, choose Undo in the notice that appears.
Why Fyllyo
The layout keeps up
Lines re-wrap, centred titles stay centred, and right-aligned dates keep their edge.
Scans are left alone
Text recognized on a scan can’t be edited this way, because the scan would still show the old words. Fyllyo says so.
Questions
Can I edit text in a PDF on a Mac without Acrobat?
Yes. In Fyllyo, select the words, choose Tools, then Edit text…, type the new words and choose Apply. It’s part of Fyllyo Paid, $99 once, and you can try it free for 5 days.
Will it use the same font?
When the PDF already uses every letter you typed, yes. If it doesn’t, Fyllyo uses the closest font on your Mac, embeds only the letters it needs, and tells you.
Can I change a whole page’s layout?
No. Fyllyo changes words within a paragraph and re-flows it. For moving images and columns around, Acrobat Pro is the better tool.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Editing happens on your Mac, and your files are never sent anywhere.

Reading, filling in, drawn signatures, page tools, combining, splitting, text recognition and passwords are free. Fyllyo Paid adds filling forms from your documents with AI, redaction, certificate signing, text editing, smaller PDFs and XFA forms, for $99 once.
