Edit any PDF like it was always editable.
Change the real text on the page. Build and fill forms, sign, redact so the words are gone rather than covered, read a scan, convert to Word or Excel — and hand the whole job to LumenAgent when you would rather not do it yourself.
Free to download, free to edit. AI features draw on your allowance.

Edit the document you opened, not a copy of it
Most tools export a new PDF that merely resembles the old one. Click and retype on the page here and the fonts, spacing, links, bookmarks and existing form fields are all still in the file afterwards.
- Swap, move, resize or delete embedded images
- Highlight, comment, shapes, links and attachments
- Compare two revisions and see exactly what changed
Reorganise pages by dragging them
Page work is the most common reason a PDF gets sent back, and all of it here is direct manipulation — no dialog box asking you to type a page range.
- Add, delete, reorder, rotate and extract by drag
- Merge many PDFs into one, or split one into several
- Crop, resize and compress across a selection
Fill the form, or build the form
Both directions. Complete a form somebody sent you, or add real fields to a flat document so other people can complete it.
- Text, checkbox, date and initial fields
- Draw or place a signature anywhere on the page
- Sign with a certificate where identity has to be verifiable
Redaction that actually removes the text
A black rectangle drawn over a name is not redaction — the text is still in the file and copies straight out from underneath. LumenPDF deletes the content and the layer beneath it, then sanitizes the file.
- Strips the hidden authorship and revision metadata too
- Passwords, permissions and what recipients may do
- Watermarks, page numbers and headers across a document
Turn a scan into something you can search
A photographed contract is an image of words, not words. OCR makes it text — and once it is text, every other feature on this page works on it.
- Export to a fully editable .docx or .xlsx in one click
- Pull clean text and structured tables out of any PDF
- Find the reading-order problems a screen reader trips on
Ask the document, then act on the answer
The assistant reads the whole file rather than the page you happen to be on, and the answer is the start of an edit instead of a dead-end chat reply.
- Summarize a 90-page agreement into the dates that matter
- Extract every figure into a LumenSheets workbook
- Answers cite the passage they came from
read_pagesHow LumenAgent works in here
Watch it do the whole job — and stop to ask you.
A real run, one step at a time: it reads the file, pulls in documents from your library, finds every target, and then waits for you before it removes anything. Press Approve or decline — declining takes a genuinely different route.
One app, every editor
The PDF is not on its own.
LumenPDF is one editor inside LumenQube. The agent can read anything in your library, and hand real work to any other editor’s own agent — so “pull these terms into a spreadsheet” is one instruction, not an export and a re-import.
Flat images of words. OCR makes it text, and everything else follows from that.
The payment table is built by the spreadsheet’s own agent, with its formulas and checks.
The key dates and obligations, written up as a document you can send.
The same facts as a short deck when the answer has to be presented rather than read.
The full toolkit
Everything LumenPDF does, and all of it free.
Six groups. No page limits, no watermark on the way out, no upsell in the middle of a job.
Edit & markup
Change the real page.
- Real text editing — retype in place, fonts and layout preserved
- Images — swap, move, resize or delete without rebuilding the file
- Markup — highlight, comment, shapes, links and attachments
- Compare — see what changed between two revisions
Pages
Direct manipulation, not dialog boxes.
- Arrange — add, delete, reorder, rotate, extract by drag
- Merge & split — many into one, or one into several
- Crop & resize — trim margins across a selection
- Compress — shrink for email and keep it readable
- Print layouts — booklets and N-up sheets
Forms & signatures
Fill one, or build one.
- Fill — type into existing fields, tick boxes, set dates
- Create fields — text, checkbox, date and initial
- Sign — draw, place, or sign with a certificate
Redact & protect
Removal, not concealment.
- Secure redaction — the text and its layer are deleted
- Metadata sanitizing — strips hidden authorship and revisions
- Passwords & permissions — control what recipients may do
- Watermarks & numbering — stamped across the document
Read & convert
Make it text, then make it anything.
- OCR — scans and photos become searchable and editable
- Convert — a fully editable .docx or .xlsx in one click
- Extract — clean text and structured tables
- Accessibility — reading-order and tagging checks
The agent
Instructions instead of clicks.
- Summarize — 90 pages into the dates and obligations
- Extract — every figure into a workbook
- Answer — grounded in the document, with the passage cited
- Act — “remove every email address”, as real redactions
LumenPDF · common questions
Will editing change the original fonts and layout?
No. You edit the real text in place — original fonts, sizes, spacing and layout are preserved, so you never rebuild the document from scratch.
Is the redaction actually secure?
Yes. The text and its underlying layer are permanently removed and the file is sanitized — it can’t be copied out or recovered, unlike a black box drawn on top.
Does the agent change my file without asking?
No. Reading is free to run, but anything that removes content, writes to disk or creates a document pauses and asks first — that is the approval step in the demo above, and you set which capabilities ask in Settings.
Can I convert a PDF to Word or Excel?
Yes — export any PDF to a fully editable .docx or .xlsx in one click.
Does it handle scanned PDFs?
Yes. Built-in OCR turns scans and photos into searchable, selectable, editable text, and escalates difficult pages to AI vision.
