FAQs
Can I Highlight Areas or Add Clickable Elements Inside a PDF?
- Not yet – It’s not currently possible to add custom elements on top of an embedded PDF. PDFs behave like static media blocks once added to a screen.
Can I Edit the Content of a PDF or Image After Replacing an Element?
- No — not at this time. Once you replace an element with a PDF, image, or video it becomes a static media block. The content inside can’t be edited like captured elements. To make changes, just upload a fresh version and swap it in.
