With the Edit Text command, you can edit texts in a paragraph like Microsoft Office Word as well as changing their font, font size and color.
To edit texts in a paragraph, please do the following:
- Select Edit > Edit Text. (Tip: You can also right-click the selected text with the Select Text and Image command and choose Edit Text to start editing text in the paragraph quickly.)
- Click on the desired paragraph to start editing. And you can set the text formatting in the Format tab that appears in the right panel. (Refer to the tables below for the instructions about the Text Style buttons. More editing features please refer to Edit Objects.) Foxit PDF Editor will automatically change a line when the text comes to the margin of it. You can also start a new line by pressing Enter. See also the tutorial on Edit PDF.
(Optional) With the Edit Text command selected, click anywhere in the paragraph. Click and drag the
icon that appears on the text box to rotate the paragraph as you need. 
The Text Style buttons in the Format tab

| Underline | Draw a line under the text. |
 | Strikethrough | Draw a line to cross out text, making others know the text is deleted. |

Note: Clicking on a scanned or image-based PDF with Edit Text command, a message prompts where you can click Recognize Text to run OCR, or click Settings to specify OCR settings before recognizing text. To not show the prompted message again, you can go to File > Preference > Editing > uncheck the option “Alert when there’s no editable text when using ‘Edit Text’ tool”.
