How it works
Whiteout is a box that covers part of a page. Match it to the background colour and that area simply looks empty, ready for new text on top.

Questions and answers
Does whiteout delete the text for good?＋
No. Whiteout only covers it; the words underneath stay in the file and can still be copied. Do not rely on it to hide passwords or bank details. To replace words, use "Change Text in PDF", which removes the old text.
