Can I edit scanned PDFs?

No. Text editing is available for PDFs containing selectable text. Scanned or image-based PDFs are not supported for existing-text editing.

Is my private document secure?

Yes. PDF loading, rendering, text changes, and saving are processed in your browser, and the editor does not send the PDF to a TechHost server.
