## Private by design

Changes are made on your device, in memory. The original file is untouched and the new one is only created when you press the button.

## Good to know

The text is drawn on top of the page; it doesn't edit what is already there. To fix existing wording, cover it first or ask for a corrected source file.

## Questions

### Can I move the text by hand?

Use the nine positions plus the page range. Fine placement by dragging isn't available yet.

### Which characters work?

Latin, Cyrillic and Greek. Other scripts aren't supported yet.
