No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
Filling in a form, correcting a date, marking something up, signing and rotating a page at the end - until now that took several tools. The PDF editor instead opens a large full-screen workspace: the toolbar on top, the page overview on the left for reordering, rotating and deleting, the page in the middle - pixel-sharp at every zoom level up to 300 %, because it is re-rendered at the matching resolution as you zoom in. If the PDF contains fillable form fields, the editor detects them automatically: you fill text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns right on the page. By default the form stays fillable in the export; a switch flattens the fields permanently if you want a final document.
About editing existing text we stay honest: a PDF stores text as a fixed layout, not as a flowing paragraph. The editor recognizes each page's real embedded text - and with the "Edit text" tool you change it right inside the file: click it, rewrite the line or paragraph, apply. The page content is genuinely replaced, line-preserving, without shifting the rest. If the original font cannot be reused - typical for the embedded font subsets of Word or browser exports - the changed line appears in a clean substitute font: real, selectable text, never an image. The "Text" tool for precise covering and overtyping is still there too; with it the original content survives inside the file - if you truly need it gone, use Redact PDF. And a scan without embedded text needs PDF OCR first.
The full tool set includes freehand drawing with pen colour and stroke width, clickable links (an invisible area that opens the target URL in the export), pinned notes exported as real PDF comments, ready-made stamps and a custom stamp text, highlights, shapes (rectangle, line, arrow), images, and signing three ways as in the Sign PDF tool. New text uses Helvetica, Times or Courier - bold or italic if you like - and is embedded as real, selectable text; the Dancing Script handwriting face and scripts outside the Latin alphabet are placed faithfully as an image. Everything runs entirely locally in the browser via pdf-lib and pdf.js - neither the PDF nor your input leaves your device, and after the first load the editor even works offline.

Limitations: Fills existing form fields (creating new fields is not possible). Existing text can be edited in place - line-preserving, no re-wrapping; if the original font cannot be reused, the changed line appears in a clean substitute font. Alternatively the Text tool overtypes via precise covering - the original then stays inside the file (for true removal use Redact PDF). Text recognition reads the PDF's embedded text, no OCR: run scanned, image-only pages through PDF OCR first. Text boxes use Helvetica, Times or Courier (Latin-1), including bold and italic; Dancing Script and other scripts are embedded as an image and are not selectable. Links to http/https addresses only. Visible signature, not a certificate-based digital signature. Open password-protected PDFs first with Unlock PDF.
No. The PDF, your form values, texts, drawings, notes and signature stay entirely local in the browser - the export happens on your device too, and after the first load the editor works offline.
Yes. The "Edit text" tool changes recognized text right inside the PDF's content - click it, rewrite it, apply; multi-line paragraphs too, line-preserving. Because a PDF stores text as a fixed layout there is no re-wrapping; and if the original font cannot be reused, the changed line appears in a clean substitute font. Where that reaches its limits, the "Text" tool covers the exact spot for you to type over.
For the standard fonts (such as Helvetica, Times, Courier) yes - new characters use the existing font. Embedded font subsets, as found in PDFs from Word, Google Docs or browser printing, cannot take new characters: the changed line then appears in a clean sans-serif substitute font - real, selectable text, never an image. All lines you do not edit keep their original look unchanged.
If the PDF has fillable fields (AcroForm), they appear automatically right on the page: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns. By default the form stays fillable in the export; the switch in the form tool flattens the fields permanently.
Yes. Notes are exported as real PDF comments that Acrobat and other viewers show as a popup; links become invisible, clickable areas that open the target URL.
A scan contains only a picture of the page, no embedded text. The editor reads the PDF's real text (no OCR). Run a scan through PDF OCR first, then open the result here.
No. The original content survives underneath the cover and could be made visible again with tools. For irreversible removal use Redact PDF.
Helvetica, Times and Courier - each also bold and italic - as real, selectable text, plus the Dancing Script handwriting face. Handwriting and scripts outside the Latin alphabet (such as Cyrillic or Chinese) are placed faithfully as an image.
