Frequently asked questions

Can I rewrite existing PDF text?
Yes, directly accessible text objects can be rewritten or deleted. The editor changes the original page content. Scans, outlined lettering, and text inside grouped artwork are not editable as text.
Are highlights or shapes permanent redaction?
No. Underlying PDF content remains accessible. Do not use visual overlays to hide sensitive information.
Can I edit more than one page?
Yes. Navigate between pages and add items to each. All additions are saved in one output PDF.
Which images and text are supported?
PNG and JPG replacement images up to 20 MB and 16 megapixels. Original text keeps its embedded font when the required characters are available. Helvetica, Times, and Courier are replacement fonts. Editing preserves the text position but does not reflow paragraphs.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Preview rendering and PDF editing run locally in your browser tab.
