Common questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Opening, editing, and exporting the PDF happens locally in your browser. The file does not leave your device.

Does cover text truly rewrite the original PDF text?

No. Cover text places a visual cover over the old area and writes new visible text on top. This is the stable browser-local editing approach.

Can I use this to permanently remove sensitive information?

No. A visual cover may not remove the original content from the PDF internals. Use a dedicated redaction workflow for sensitive information.

Can scanned PDFs have editable text?

Scanned PDFs are usually image-based, so original text cannot be directly edited. You can still annotate, sign, stamp, and cover areas visually.
