❓ Frequently asked questions

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I change the existing text of a PDF?

Not directly. A PDF does not keep text as a normal paragraph, so it cannot be re-typed. To change a word, drag a Cover over the old word and write the new word on top with the Text tool.

Does a Cover remove the text underneath?

No. A cover only hides it. The original text is still inside the file and could be copied by someone. Do not use a cover to remove private information.

Can I write Telugu or Hindi?

Yes. Text in these languages is drawn as a small picture with your device font, so it looks right everywhere, but it cannot be selected or searched. English text is added as real text.

How do I fill a form?

Use the Text tool to type in the empty places. Use Tick and Cross for check boxes. This works on any PDF, including scanned forms.

Can I add my signature?

Yes, you can add a picture of your signature with the Image tool. The Sign PDF tool lets you draw one.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. You can draw with your finger and move things by dragging them.

Does it work on a password protected PDF?

No. Unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool.

Is it free?

Yes, this tool is completely free to use.
