Add visible edits to a PDF without uploading it.

Local PDF editing is useful for adding text, highlights, shapes, and images. It does not rewrite existing source paragraphs, and visible cover shapes are not secure redaction.

Choose the right kind of edit

Add text for a note or correction, use a translucent highlight to call attention to content, place an outline around a region, or add a PNG or JPG image. Use White cover only for visual cleanup on non-sensitive material. Choose Redact PDF when information must be irreversibly removed.

Verify the exported page

Compare the edited result with the source at normal size and high zoom. Check page selection, placement, font size, opacity, image proportions, forms, annotations, and any existing digital signature. Keep the original PDF because editing creates a separate derivative.
