How to use this pdf highlighter

How the result is calculated

The browser draws one bounded translucent rectangle on the selected PDF page using coordinates measured from the top-left. It does not select text semantically, add comments, redact underlying content or authenticate the document.

Read the current pdf-lib PDF rectangle drawing documentation before submitting.

All calculation and transformation work happens in this browser tab. No entered value is sent to an Noler Tools application server.

Important limitations

Results are provided for convenience and should be checked independently before an important decision. A format or checksum result never authenticates an identity, document, account, licence, vehicle or registration.
