FAQ
No. The PDF is opened and rebuilt in your browser, so it never leaves your device. Nothing is stored either.
Not directly. You can put a box with a white background over a word and type the new one on top. That hides it on the page, but the old text is still in the file underneath, so don't use it to hide anything private.
