RedesignPDF frequently asked questions
What is RedesignPDF mainly for?
RedesignPDF is for page-level visual changes: redesigning layouts, updating visible content and branding, replacing images, and cleaning scanned pages.
Is RedesignPDF a traditional PDF text editor?
No. RedesignPDF does not directly edit the original PDF text layer, form fields, vector objects, or structured PDF objects. It generates a new page image from your instruction.
Can I describe my own visual change?
Yes. The visual editor keeps the prompt editable. Guided tools such as scanned-PDF cleanup use a fixed prompt so the workflow stays focused.
Can I compare the result with the original?
Yes. Review the generated page beside the original before applying the direction to more pages or exporting.
Can I clean gray backgrounds and shadows?
Yes. RedesignPDF is built for common scanned PDF cleanup tasks such as gray backgrounds, phone shadows, stains, noise, faded text, and low contrast pages.
Can I choose only the pages that need changes?
Yes. You can preview the PDF, select individual pages, and generate only the pages you want to update.
Will the exported PDF still be searchable or selectable?
No. The exported PDF is image-based, so text is not selectable or searchable.
What types of PDFs work best?
Brochures, menus, handouts, sales PDFs, flattened pages, image-based PDFs, and scanned documents work best.
Does RedesignPDF replace Acrobat or OCR tools?
No. Acrobat and OCR tools are better for text-layer editing, searchable PDFs, forms, comments, and precise document workflows. RedesignPDF is for visual scanned-page cleanup.
When are credits used?
Credits are used only after a successful AI page generation. Standard generation uses 2 credits/page on Free and Basic, and 1 credit/page on Plus and Pro. AI Enhanced uses 10 credits/page on Basic, 8 credits/page on Plus, and 6 credits/page on Pro. Uploading a PDF, choosing a page, uploading a reference image, deleting or restoring pages, and exporting do not use credits.
Is this suitable for contracts, invoices, or official documents?
Use caution. RedesignPDF can process page images, but official documents contain important information. Only process documents you have the right to handle, and review text, amounts, dates, and layout before exporting or sharing.
