A question?

Can every font be edited perfectly?

Compatible text is edited with the PDF font while untouched elements stay intact. Subset fonts may lack characters; the editor then refuses the change. Scans, outlined text and some complex compositions are not directly editable text.

Font

The original font is reused. Characters missing from the PDF font are rejected without silent substitution. Longer text may need fitting.

Multilingual text (exported as image)

For complex scripts, the browser lays out your new text. This addition becomes a non-selectable image. The rest of the PDF keeps its fonts.

Are my files uploaded?

Light tasks stay in your browser. Heavy tasks, or local processing lasting over eight seconds, automatically use the server when available. Temporary files are deleted after processing or failure. No account needed. The advanced editor analyzes, previews and edits on our protected server. Temporary files are deleted after each operation. No signup.
