How to use

It's very easy to use Foxit PDF Editor. Here let's take some examples of how to work with Foxit PDF Editor to edit what you want.

Open and Locate: First, you open an existing PDF document. The first page of the document will be shown when the document is opened, and you can locate any other page using toolbar buttons or menu items.

Insert and Change: You can insert new objects by selecting "item" from the "Object" menu or "Add Object" toolbar dropdown menu. You can then freely change any attribute of the newly created object.

Select and Delete: Before you can delete or change any existing object, you must select the object. You can select an object by simply clicking on the object itself. There might be more than one objects overlapping each other. In this case, you might need to click on the same place several times to pick up the correct object. Attributes of the selected object are displayed in the Attributes View pane.

Select multiple objects: You can select multiple objects by holding down CTRL key when you select objects with the mouse. You can also select many objects at one time if you click on an unselected area and drag your mouse pointer while holding the mouse button down. In this case, all objects completely within the rectangle created by the drag of the mouse will be selected.

Change attribute: You can change any attribute of the selected object (or object group). In the Attributes Modification pane, attributes are organized in several pages. You can use the mouse to choose any of those pages. In many pages, you need to click on the "Save" button if you want to make the changed attributes effective for selected objects.

Delete: If you want to delete a selected object or object group, just press the "Del" key.
You can press CTRL-C to copy selected objects onto the Windows clipboard, or press CTRL-V to paste objects, text, or image from the Windows clipboard to your PDF.

Undo and Redo: To undo your last editing (insertion, deletion, or modification), just press ALT-Backspace. You can undo as many editing steps as you want by repeating ALT-Backspace. If you want to redo the change after undoing it, press CTRL-Y. This step (redo) can also be repeated as desired.

Save and Save As: After you have finished your work, you can press the "Save" button to save your work, or select "Save As" from the "file" menu to save into another PDF file.
