Edit tab
Use the Edit tab to access tools and settings for modifying PDF documents.
To find tools on tabs, see "Ribbon, tabs and panels" or use the search box in the Help menu.
Basic tools
Undo and Redo: Undo recent actions, or reverse recent undo actions. A few commands (like redaction and document flattening) cannot be undone.
Delete: Remove selectable items, such as drawing objects or text in a normal or a form text box. You cannot use this tool to delete text selected on the actual PDF page, which requires the use of the Edit Object tool on pages with a text layer.
Select Area, Select All and Deselect All: Select an area to copy it the Clipboard, create a stamp from it, transform it to a hyperlink, export it to an editable format or declare it a table using the shortcut menu. Select All selects all text and objects on the current page of a Normal PDF when the current view (set at ) is Single Page. In other cases, it selects all text and objects in the document. With image-only PDFs, it selects the entire current page. Deselect All removes the current selection.
Clipboard tools
Cut, Copy, Paste: Cut or copy the selected content to the Clipboard, or paste Clipboard content into the current PDF.
Modify tools
Crop: Reduce the size of the current or selected or all pages, or specify a page range; define the new crop page size by drag-and-drop or by numerical values.
Edit: Select text blocks or objects to modify them. For details see Edit page contents and Text Format tab.
Place Image: Insert an image from file.
Typewriter: Add text to any free place on a PDF page and define properties to be applied. Typewriter text becomes an integral part of the PDF at saving time.
Insert tools
Headers and Footers: Add, update or remove headers and footers. Adding can be done to multiple documents. Updating and removing apply only to the current document. In Power PDF Advanced, headers or footers may include Bates numbering.

Link: Add a hyperlink to a page area to define the link appearance; or link an action to open a file, go to a web location, or go to another location in the document.
