About This Feature
Overview
Replace Page in WPS PDF is a PDF text editing action that lets you apply or remove the related effect on selected text so you can adjust how text appears in a PDF more efficiently. This feature provides two common entry points: use the ribbon after entering content editing mode, or use the floating toolbar after selecting text.
Core tasks include:
- Apply Replace Page from the ribbon: useful when you prefer to enter editing mode through the menu path first.
- Apply Replace Page from the floating toolbar: useful when you want to finish the current text adjustment directly after selecting text.
This workflow fits scenarios such as contract cleanup before review, training material updates, and small revisions in instruction files. Before using it, enter Text Editing mode and select the target text.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you select text in PDF text editing mode and apply the Replace Page effect from either the ribbon or the floating toolbar; PDF editing requires membership. | Word can open a PDF and convert it into editable Word content before text changes are made, rather than editing the original PDF in the same PDF interface. | Google Docs offers find and replace for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, but it is not a native PDF text editing workflow. | Notion supports importing or embedding PDF files and is more focused on organizing and viewing content than directly replacing text in a PDF. | Acrobat can edit text directly in a PDF, including replacing or adding text, and it can use OCR for scanned PDFs. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can complete text selection, apply the effect, and remove it again in the same PDF editing interface, with both ribbon and floating toolbar entry points. | Compared with WPS: It usually requires PDF-to-Word conversion before editing, which may change the original layout. | Compared with WPS: It is better suited to find-and-replace in documents than to PDF text appearance editing. | Compared with WPS: It focuses on import, embed, and knowledge organization rather than direct PDF text editing. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers broader PDF text editing controls and formatting options; WPS keeps the workflow more concentrated for common PDF text edits inside one app. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to edit PDF text directly on Windows and switch quickly between two entry points, WPS provides a more direct workflow. If you need broader PDF editing depth, Adobe Acrobat covers more text editing scenarios, while Microsoft, Google, and Notion are better aligned with conversion editing, document replacement, or content organization.
