FAQ

Can I edit text in Illustrator?

Yes, if the PDF contains real text. If a font isn't installed, Illustrator asks for a substitute. Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, which can't be edited.

What about multi-page PDFs?

All pages are kept. Illustrator asks which page to open.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
