Flow

Detect selectable text targets on the preview page when the PDF contains a text layer.
Fall back to local OCR word boxes for scanned or image-only pages so visible text can still be selected.
Map the selected text box into PDF coordinate space and infer font family/style/size hints.
Export a whiteout plus replacement text/signature layers with deterministic ordering.

Example

Worked example: replace a review label

1 Upload final-spec.pdf.
2 Click the visible INTERNAL REVIEW text target and change it to CLIENT REVIEW.
3 Run editor and share labeled version.

Selected pages include whiteout over the original text and an embedded replacement text layer.

How

Upload one PDF.
Use the page thumbnail strip to jump to the page you want to edit.
Click a detected text target to load its text, position, and font hints; scanned pages are recognized locally with OCR when needed.
Edit inline, adjust font/style/color, choose target pages, then export edited PDF.

Cases

Correct visible labels in review PDFs.
Mark pre-release policy drafts.
Add internal review signatures to handoff docs.

Avoid

Expecting OCR text detection to be perfect on low-resolution scans without manual verification.
Turning off whiteout when replacing existing visible text.
Skipping final export QA because PDF fonts can vary across source files.
