Annotate an incorrect invoice total
A review copy needs a short note and a rectangle around an incorrect total. Add both without covering the surrounding amounts. Add a short text note beside the total and a rectangle around the amount. Leave the original number visible so the reviewer can identify the issue.
✓ Reopen the download at high zoom and confirm the note, shape position and untouched content.Make it work for your document

The details, when you need them.
Can I rewrite the original paragraphs?
This editor adds content over pages. It does not directly reflow or replace the original document text.
Is white-out the same as redaction?
No. Underlying content may remain. Use a verified redaction workflow for confidential information. This platform’s revised redaction workflow is under release review and rebuilds every page as an image.
Add information to an existing page
Use the editor to annotate a handout, label a diagram or add missing information. Select an item to move it, resize it or delete it before saving. The editor places new content over the page; it does not provide word-processor editing of the original paragraphs or automatic text reflow.
Use the right tool for private details
A white rectangle can visually cover a mistake but does not securely remove the underlying text. Use Redact PDF when information must be removed from a shared copy. For substantial rewriting, PDF to Word may offer a more useful starting point, though layout reconstruction is limited. Always keep the original before editing.
Additions do not replace original text
The editor adds content over pages; it does not rewrite original paragraph text or recreate document layout.
Original text shows through a covering shape
Added objects do not remove the original page content. Use covering shapes only for visual editing. Do not share confidential content based on a visual cover.
