Inline text content editing with text reflow

The new “Inline Text Content Editing” with reflow provides user friendly text editing directly on the page. Advanced text recognition logic improves editing by linking all text strings within the PDF so that users can edit text without worrying about text reflow or manually creating line wraps. Edit text across multiple paragraphs; modify layout by resizing or moving boxes; change font, styling (bold, italic, color) or alignment just like in a word processor.
