- Worth noticing
- Redaction is described as saving the affected page as an image; white-out only covers text, which may remain searchable or copyable.
Field notes
The page lays out a choose-or-drop, edit, download workflow and says the original file remains unchanged. It warns that work exists only in the browser tab until downloaded, and that drawn answers over form fields will not be recognized as filled by form software. The listed limits also exclude locked PDFs and non-Latin text input.
