Text adds a new layer rather than rewriting embedded words. Whiteout is a visual cover rather than secure redaction, and large PDFs may be constrained by available iPhone memory.
How to edit a PDF on iPhone in Safari FAQ
Do I need to install an iPhone app?
No. PDFMech works in Safari, so you can choose a PDF from Files and edit supported content without installing a separate app.
Where does the edited PDF go on iPhone?
Safari downloads the new PDF through the browser. Its location depends on your Safari download setting, commonly the Downloads folder in iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.
Can I change text already embedded in the PDF?
Not directly. PDFMech adds a new editable text box above the original PDF page rather than rewriting its embedded text layer.
Will my iPhone upload the PDF to PDFMech?
No. Supported editing is designed to process the source PDF locally in Safari rather than sending it to a PDFMech editing server.
