Can I add text to multiple pages in one pass?

Yes — switch between the page buttons while placing text; each block remembers which page it was placed on, and all are applied together when you click Apply.

Can I fill in a scanned form or a PDF that isn't a fillable form?

Yes — that's what this tool is for: click where the answer goes and type. If the PDF has real fillable fields, Flatten PDF lets you fill them directly.

Can I edit the text after placing it?

Not in place — remove the block (or use Undo last) and add it again with the corrected text.

Will the added text be selectable and searchable?

Yes — it's drawn as real vector text, the way a PDF editor would add it, not a flattened image.

Can I use any font or emoji?

You can choose sans-serif, serif or typewriter, in bold or italic. These are standard PDF fonts, so emoji and some non-Latin scripts can't be drawn — we tell you if your text contains something unsupported.

Does it work on rotated or scanned pages?

Yes — text goes exactly where you click and reads the right way up, even on pages that are stored rotated.
