Frequently asked questions

What edits can I perform with this tool?

You can add text blocks (customizing text contents, font size, and text color), draw freehand annotations directly on top of pages, insert rectangles/circles, and navigation pages.

Does this editor support editing existing text inside the PDF?

No. This editor is designed for adding new annotations, drawings, notes, and shapes on top of existing PDF layers. It does not rewrite or edit the pre-existing embedded PDF text structures.

Is my data secure?

Yes. The PDF is rendered and edited entirely on your device using canvas overlays. Your modified document never touches a server.
