Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I undo or erase mistakes during annotation?
Yes. The editor features multi-step Undo/Redo history as well as an Eraser tool to remove individual annotations.
Will my annotations remain visible in standard PDF readers like Adobe Acrobat?
Yes. The annotations are baked into standard PDF graphics streams, ensuring they display identically in Acrobat, Chrome, Apple Preview, and mobile readers.
Can I change the color and thickness of lines?
Yes. The color picker and stroke slider allow full customization of every vector line.
Does annotating reduce the quality of the original PDF text?
No. The underlying vector text and graphics remain untouched; annotations are added as high-resolution graphic layers.
