Can I edit the existing text in a PDF, not just add new text?

Yes. Click any line of text already in the PDF and retype it. The editor reads the real text, covers the original glyphs, and re-draws only the lines you changed with a matched font, size, and color — the rest of the page stays exactly as it was.

Is my PDF kept private, and do I need an account?

No account is required. Your PDF is uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, edited on our servers, and deleted automatically a short time later — it is never shared or used for anything else. There is no daily limit and no watermark.

Is there a watermark on the edited PDF?

No watermark, ever. The downloaded PDF contains only your content. The tool is free with no trial trap, no surprise charges, and no upgrade-to-remove-watermark prompt.

Can I delete or white-out text in a PDF?

Yes. Select a line and clear it (or use the White-out tool) to paint over the original text with the page background color, so it disappears from the exported PDF.

Does it do true redaction (permanently remove text, not just black it out)?

Yes. The Redact tool permanently REMOVES the content, not just covers it: the redacted page is flattened to an image with the region blacked out, so the hidden text has no text layer and cannot be recovered by copy-paste, text extraction, or reading the raw PDF — unlike a black box drawn on top, which still leaves the text underneath. It's the secure redaction Adobe and others charge for.

Can it edit scanned PDFs or non-Latin (Arabic, Chinese, Hindi) text?

Yes for scanned PDFs — click 'Run OCR' on a page and the editor recognises its text so you can edit it like any other PDF. Editing currently supports Latin (WinAnsi) characters on unrotated pages; embedded Unicode fonts for non-Latin scripts are on the roadmap. The editor clearly tells you when a PDF needs OCR instead of producing a broken file.

Will the rest of my document keep its formatting after editing?

Yes. Unlike PDF-to-Word round-trips that break layout, this editor keeps the original PDF bytes and only re-stamps the specific lines you edited, so fonts, images, and spacing everywhere else are untouched.
