Step 1. Open PDF File
Open your PDF file. On the Home window, click on the "Open files" button at the bottom and select the PDF file that you want to edit. If you have recently used a PDF file, you can select it from the recent files list.
Step 2. Erase Text in PDF
Click on the "Edit" tab on the top right to enable the editing mode. Then click on the text block you want to delete. You can either use the "Backspace" key or press the "Delete" button from your keyboard.
