Description
Private, in-browser true-in-place PDF text editor. Files never leave your machine. Overtype edits the actual text inside a PDF. It removes the original glyphs from the page and redraws your changes in a matching font, instead of putting an opaque box over the old text. Everything happens locally in your browser: your files never leave your machine, and the extension makes no network requests while you work. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Edit existing text: fix a word or rewrite a paragraph and it reflows in the document's own font • Add new text anywhere on a page, matched to the surrounding style • Whiteout: movable, resizable cover boxes with adjustable color and opacity • Redact: permanently remove text under a region, bar it out, and verify it's gone. Redact every occurrence of a name or number in one step, and download a redaction report for your records • Bates numbering for legal exhibits • Fill in any PDF form (text, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns), or make your own fillable with text fields and checkboxes • Shapes, pictures, signatures, highlights, and a freehand pen • Pages: merge, split, insert, delete, reorder, rotate, crop, resize to Letter or A4, extract, and export pages as images • Reduce file size, and recolor to grayscale, sepia, or black & white • OCR for scanned pages, on your computer, nothing uploaded • Quick delete, undo/redo, find & replace, zoom, and one-click save • Make it your PDF viewer: optional auto-open sends .pdf links straight into Overtype, and "Open in Overtype" sits in the right-click menu of any PDF link or page PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No file is ever uploaded; all editing is on-device • No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts • Permissions are minimal: local storage (export counter, license, and the working copy that lets you restore unsaved edits), and, only if you switch on auto-open, a rule that sends .pdf links into the editor. Nothing is sent anywhere. FREE AND PRO Editing is always free and unlimited. The free tier includes 10 clean PDF exports per month; past that, exports still work but carry a small "Edited with Overtype" line. Pro ($29.99, once) unlocks unlimited clean exports. Pro is activated with a license key that is verified entirely offline: no login, no phoning home. Teams: one key for the whole organisation, deployable by policy.
