💡 Pro Tips
Use whiteout to redact before sharing
Cover sensitive information - account numbers, addresses, personal data - with a solid white box before sending the PDF.
Match font size to the surrounding text
When replacing text, adjust the font size slider to match the original text size for a seamless look.
Add shapes to highlight key sections
Draw a rectangle around important clauses or figures to draw attention - useful for review documents and annotations.
Insert a signature image over the signature line
Save your signature as a transparent PNG, then insert it onto the PDF at the correct position to sign documents digitally.
