Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change existing text in the PDF?
Currently, you can use the 'whiteout' tool to cover old text and type new text over it. Native text editing is a highly complex feature we are actively developing.
Can I add images to the PDF?
Yes, you can easily upload and stamp PNG or JPG images anywhere onto your document.
Does editing reduce the document quality?
No, our editor adds your annotations on top of the existing document structure without re-compressing the original images or text.

Troubleshooting Edit PDF
I cannot select the text to edit it.
The page is a scan. Run OCR PDF first to create an editable text layer.
The edited text uses a different font.
If the original font is not embedded it cannot be reused, so the closest available match is substituted.
