FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does this rewrite the original PDF text objects?
No. The tool covers the original text with a clean rectangle and writes the replacement text on top. The result is a flattened PDF with the new text visible in the right place.
Will detection find every text element?
Detection works for normal selectable PDF text. It cannot read text that is part of a scanned image. For image PDFs, you can still add new text boxes manually.
Can I edit multiple pages in one file?
Yes. Switch pages from the toolbar and add as many edits as you need before downloading the final PDF.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Detection, preview rendering, and PDF editing all happen in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
