02 / How it works
The edit you came to make.
Fig 0.2
Keep the type in place.
Punct uses the document’s fonts when possible and helps find a match when they are incomplete. Check the preview before downloading.
Fig 0.3
Make a few edits. Download once.
Change text on different pages, review your edits, and export one PDF.

Your PDF stays on your device.
Punct processes PDFs in your browser. Your file and replacement text are not uploaded for editing.

Fillable PDF forms

Before and after
PlannedCompare your changes with the original before you download.
Describe the change
PlannedAsk for a text edit in plain language, then review it before applying.
