Frequently Asked Questions

Does deleting text from a PDF leave a white blank?

Yes — the eraser covers the area with white. For documents with a white background (most documents), this is invisible.

Can I delete text on a colored or patterned background?

The eraser always paints white. For non-white backgrounds, use an image overlay instead to cover the text with a color that matches the background.

Is deleting PDF text free?

Yes — completely free at pdfeditor.onl/pdf-studio.
