Is this PDF editor free?
Yes. This browser PDF editor is free to use, with no account or watermark.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF stays on your device and is never uploaded.
Can I edit the original PDF text directly?
No. This editor adds text and overlays and changes page order rather than rewriting the original text objects in the PDF.
Is whiteout the same as secure redaction?
No. Whiteout hides content visually but does not remove the underlying data. Use Redact PDF if you need permanent removal.
Can I reorder or delete pages while editing?
Yes. You can reorder and delete pages along with adding markup, then export one updated PDF locally.
How do I edit text in a PDF?
You annotate it rather than editing it. A PDF describes a printed page, so text does not reflow and there is no paragraph to edit into. For real text changes, go back to the source document and re-export.
Why is editing a PDF so awkward?
Because it was never designed to be edited. It is a description of a page as it will print, not a document format, and every PDF editor is working around that.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Not the text, because there isn't any: a scan is a picture of a page. Run OCR over it first if you need the words, and understand that OCR is a reconstruction rather than the original.
Will my recipient be able to move my annotations?
Yes, unless you flatten the document before sending it. An annotation is an object on top of the page, not part of it.
Should I edit before or after compressing?
Before. Compression rasterizes the page, and an annotation on a rasterized page cannot be adjusted afterwards.
