FAQ

Is my file uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser and your file is never stored.

Can the annotations be removed in other apps?

Yes. They are standard PDF annotations, so you can edit or delete them in Acrobat Reader and similar apps. Use Flatten PDF to make them permanent.

Does the highlighter snap to text?

Not yet. It fills the rectangle you drag; it doesn't align to individual words.
