Your text is written into the PDF itself, so it shows up the same in every PDF viewer.

Questions

Which characters can I use?

Letters, numbers and accents used in Western European languages work. Other scripts such as Chinese are not supported yet.

Can I change the font?

The text uses Helvetica, a clean standard font that every PDF viewer shows correctly. You can change size and colour.

Is my file uploaded?
