Question 1

Is this true annotation or does it permanently alter the PDF?

Accepted Answer

The annotations are visual — they are drawn on top of each page as non-destructive shapes and text. The underlying document content is preserved. If you want to permanently remove text (like redaction), use the PDF Redactor tool instead.

Question 2

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Every annotation is created and saved in your browser. The PDF never leaves your device.

Question 3

Will the annotations be editable later?

Accepted Answer

The annotations are saved as flattened visual layers on each page for maximum compatibility. If you need to edit them later, keep your annotated and original copies separately.

Question 4

Can I annotate multiple pages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the page navigation to move between pages. Your annotations are preserved on each page when you switch.
