After generating a document with AI, you may want to edit and refine it before exporting. PromptPDF provides powerful editing capabilities to help you perfect your documents.
The Editor Interface
PromptPDF includes a code editor that allows you to edit your document content directly. To access the editor:

Formatting Text
You can format your text using various techniques:
Bold Text
To make text bold, surround it with double asterisks:
**This text will be bold**
Italic Text
To italicize text, surround it with single asterisks:
*This text will be italic*
Lists
Create bullet lists using hyphens or asterisks:

Create numbered lists using numbers:
1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item
Language Selection
The editor includes a language selector that helps with syntax highlighting:

Refining AI-Generated Content
When editing AI-generated content, consider these best practices:
- Check for accuracy: Verify that all facts and information are correct
- Personalize content: Add personal details or specific information that the AI might not have included
- Adjust tone: Modify the language to match your preferred tone and style
- Remove redundancies: AI sometimes repeats information; edit for conciseness
- Fix formatting issues: Ensure consistent formatting throughout the document
- Add missing information: Include any details that were not in your original prompt
