Frequently asked questions

Will my annotations edit the original text?

No. Annotations are added as an interactive overlay on top of your existing PDF layers.

Can I edit or remove annotations later?

Yes. Annotations can be modified or deleted using any PDF reader that supports standard PDF markup.

Are my files uploaded to annotate them?

No. Your document stays on your device, and annotations are saved locally.
