Frequently asked
Which fonts can I use?+
Sans, Serif and Mono — matched to Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New — in regular, bold and italic. The font is embedded in the PDF, so it looks identical on every device and in print.
Can I change the text that is already there?+
Yes, with Pro: the Edit text tool lets you click a line of the document and retype it. Adding new text is free.
Is my file uploaded?+
No. The editor runs inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Edits are kept as a draft on your own device until you start over.
