Rub out a wrong figure, an old name or a stray line so it is genuinely wiped from the page — not hidden under a sticker. On real text the characters are erased for good; on a scan you cover them with a clean whiteout block. It all happens in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
Open your PDF to start Free to edit · no account · $1 only when you downloadYou want a bit of a PDF simply wiped away — a mistyped total, a leftover comment, someone's phone number. DollarFix PDF lets you erase text from a PDF the way you would rub out pencil on paper: click into the real underlying text, pick out what should vanish, and it is lifted out of the page content rather than painted over. Nothing installs, no account is created, and the document is never sent to a server — the whole thing runs inside the browser tab you already have open.
It matters that the words are actually erased and not just masked. Plenty of free 'erasers' only lay a coloured rectangle on top, so the original letters still sit underneath and pop back the moment someone selects or copies the page. Here you work on the genuine content, so an erased line stays erased. And because DollarFix is a focused single-document editor, you erase one selection at a time and see exactly what goes — there is no blind global find-and-replace quietly deleting the wrong thing elsewhere.
Scanned PDFs get an honest caveat. A scan is a flat picture of a page, so there are no characters to lift out and no OCR pretending otherwise. To erase text on a scan you drop a whiteout block over it, matched to the paper colour, so the old writing disappears cleanly — then type fresh text on top if you need to. Either way editing is completely free; you only pay a one-time $1 if you decide to download the finished file. No subscription, no watermark, no card left on file.
