Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a visual drag-and-drop editor?
No. This tool requires you to input manual X and Y coordinates to place the text on the page.
Can I add sticky notes, highlights, or drawings?
No. This utility only adds a basic, static text string to the PDF page.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The text stamping process runs completely locally on your device for maximum privacy.
