Document Processing & Privacy Notes
Transparency note: PDF files often use subsetted custom font encodings that cannot be arbitrarily re-keyed in-stream without missing glyph tables. PDFNestly extracts exact bounding-box coordinates of each text line, cleanly masks the original glyph run, and renders crisp replacement vector text in matching point size and baseline.

Frequently Asked Questions — Edit PDF Text
Why does PDFNestly explain subset font limitations?
Because subsetted fonts inside PDFs only contain glyphs for characters originally typed. Replacing text cleanly using standard embedded vector fonts guarantees every new character renders reliably.
