How to Modify Font Properties of the Text in a PDF

1. You can also download a free trial of Adobe Acrobat from Adobe's download page to temporarily use these features for free.
Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat. If Adobe Acrobat is your computer's default PDF reader, just double-click the PDF that you want to open.
1. If Adobe Acrobat isn't your computer's default PDF reader, open Adobe Acrobat, click File, click Open..., select your PDF, and click Open.
Click Tools. It's a tab in the upper-left side of the Adobe Acrobat window.
Click Edit PDF. This pink icon is near the top of the Tools tab. Doing so will open a sidebar to the right of the PDF.
Select text to edit. Find the text that you want to edit, then click and drag your mouse across the text to select it.
Edit the text. Using the tools on the right side of the window, you can change the following properties:
1. Font - Click the drop-down box below "FORMAT", then click the font that you want to use.
2. Size - Click the drop-down box with a number in it, then click a larger or smaller number. You can also type in a number to create a custom size.
3. Color - Click the colored box to the right of the numbered box, then click a new color.
Save your changes. Click File, then click Save in the drop-down menu.
1. You can also select Save As to change the file's name and/or where it's saved on your computer.

Click the Text tab. It's in the upper-left side of the page.

Enter your text. Type in the text that you want to use to replace the old text. The text that you type here should use all of your selected text properties.
