Edit Hebrew text in a PDF

Use a Hebrew font and RTL direction, then check numbers, punctuation, and niqqud before sharing your PDF.

Open the document in the editor

Paperkit supports Hebrew text while its editing interface is available in English and Arabic. Choose Edit text to select an existing line, or Add text for a new box. A scanned page does not contain selectable text; use Cover + Add text for a visual change.

Choose Noto Sans Hebrew

Select Noto Sans Hebrew for added or replacement Hebrew text. The font is served with the website. Start with a short phrase such as “פגישה ביום שלישי” and adjust its size to fit the page. Text replacement can differ from the original font and spacing.

Set direction separately from alignment

Choose RTL for Hebrew writing direction. Then set right, center, or left alignment as needed. Check a mixed example such as “פגישה בשעה 10:30” carefully. English names, numbers, brackets, and hyphens can change how a line is displayed.

Leave space for niqqud and wrapping

Vowel marks may extend beyond the main letter shape. Make the box taller if any marks are clipped. If replacing a line with a longer sentence, widen the box where possible or allow another line. Use Fit text and inspect the full line at a readable zoom.

Check what the export preserves

Download a new PDF and reopen it to review direction, punctuation, and letter appearance. Edited pages become images, so their text is no longer searchable or selectable and interactive fields no longer work. Untouched pages keep their original content. Retain the original, especially for signed documents.
