For simple marks

CleanEdit PDF opens one PDF locally, lets you add text notes, drawings, area highlights, images and a visual signature, then downloads a copy. The original page content stays in place.

For editing the source

Adobe documents tools for replacing PDF text and using OCR on scans. CleanEdit PDF’s Edit PDF text also replaces the document’s own words, on our server once you agree, and its web editor can recognize a scan on our server once you agree, so the scan can be searched and copied. The web editor also converts a PDF to Word on our server once you agree. Acrobat goes further: it converts to more formats and makes recognized scans editable.

For confidential information

Adobe Acrobat Pro documents a redaction workflow that applies removal. CleanEdit PDF’s Whiteout is only a white shape; covered words remain in the PDF and must not be treated as sanitized.
