How do I simplify PDF text with AI?

Open your document, then use the AI assistant to simplify a passage or the AI Text Edit tool to rewrite a selected block of text in plainer language. Highlight the part you want to simplify first.

Is simplifying PDF text free?

No. DocHub's AI features are on the Pro plan and are behind a paywall on the Free plan. You can try them using DocHub's 30-day Pro trial.

Does it change the document itself?

AI Text Edit rewrites the selected text in place, so the simplified wording replaces the original in the document. You choose which passages to change.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No. The assistant needs selectable text, so it can't simplify a scanned or image-only PDF that has no extractable text.

Will it give me legal advice?

No. It can make wording easier to read, but it doesn't provide legal advice — for legal questions, consult a qualified professional.

Can I simplify text on my phone?

Yes. DocHub runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can simplify passages from a phone or tablet on a Pro plan.
