Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?

Not directly. The editor adds new content on top of the page, so cover the old text with Whiteout and type over it.

Can I type in Arabic on a PDF?

Yes. Arabic is supported with correct letter joining and right-to-left direction, along with every other language.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. All editing happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
