How the Font Is Changed
A PDF is not like a Word file: each line of text is drawn with the font that was chosen when it was made, and there is no simple setting to switch it. That is why it is hard to change font in PDF files with most readers.
Here, the old line is covered and written again, in the same place and size, with the font you pick. You can choose a sans-serif, a serif, a monospaced or a handwriting font, then adjust the size, colour, bold and italic.
To change font in PDF pages all at once, use Change all text. Every line on every page is rewritten, and headings keep their bold.
One line
Click it and pick a font.
All text
Every page in one click.
Real text
Still searchable and copyable.
