- Existing-text editing depends on the selectable text reported by PDF.js. Scans, outlined letters, unusual encodings, rotated text and complex layouts may not be editable or may not match perfectly.
- Signed and password-protected PDFs are refused because the editor cannot preserve their signature or encryption assurance.
- Redaction attempts to remove covered text and warns when it cannot. Always inspect the exported copy; this is not a forensic erasure guarantee.
