Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded when I add text?
No. Text is added entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
Which fonts can I use?
Helvetica, Times Roman, and Courier, each with a bold option. These are standard PDF fonts that work everywhere.
Can I place text on multiple pages?
Yes. Switch pages, click to place more boxes, and download when you are done. Each box keeps its own font, size, and color.
Does adding text modify my original file?
No. A new PDF is created when you download. Your original stays unchanged on disk.
