You can edit each text object by selecting it in the text selection
mode. This mode is started by Select Text tool button (Selection Mode
Toolbar).
When you are in text selection mode, your mouse pointer will change to
horizontal bar when you are pointing to a text. When you click on
a text, it will appear in the toolbar edit box where you can modify it.
Please note that PDFedit recognizes following types of selection modes:
- all objects - all PDF content objects on the page can be
selected. This is usually not very useful for normal use cases
because of too many objects on the page - but can be used for
more advanced operations
- graphical objects - for different graphical objects selection
like lines, squares etc. (e.g. when you draw something and
want to move/delete/change color)
- text - selects text created by text operators (note that the
text can be created also from graphical operators as pure
graphic - no text selection is supported then). You can
move/delete/change font/color selected text
- annotations - enables page annotations selection. Annotations
manipulation is not supported very well at the moment thought.
You can get more information in the user documentation distributed with
the PDFedit sources.
