About this tool

Whiteout is handy for hiding a detail before sharing a document or for covering old text before typing new text on top. Note that the cover is drawn over the page, so for highly sensitive data, also check the result carefully before sharing.

Tips for best results

Make the box slightly larger than the text.
Type new text on top with the Text tool if needed.
Always review the saved PDF before sending it.
