Frequently asked questions
Is the PDF edited in my browser?
Yes — all editing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your files stay private.
Can I edit existing text in a PDF?
No — editing original PDF text requires unpacking the document's internal structure, which differs per PDF. You can however cover text with a white-out box and add new text on top.
What annotation types are supported?
Text, highlights, freehand drawing, rectangles (stroke or filled), image insertion, and white-out boxes.
Are annotations permanent after saving?
Yes — when you click Save PDF, all annotations are flattened into the PDF using pdf-lib and cannot be separately removed afterwards.
Can I undo my changes?
Yes — use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo. The history is maintained per session until you download.
