Strikethrough in PDF allows you to make it visually clear that certain content should be ignored or revised.

Tips to Keep in Mind when Crossing out Text in a PDF

While it is true that crossing out text in PDF with PDFBeast, as you have seen, is simple, it would be interesting for you to apply the tips shown below, so that the final result is as good as possible:

Keep a Record of the Changes in the Document

If you are revising a document, consider adding comments in the PDF to explain why certain text was crossed out.

This can be especially useful in academic or professional environments where justification for modifications is required.

Legal Considerations

Deleting text in a PDF also carries legal responsibilities, especially in official or sensitive documents, as well as those with copyrights that prevent unauthorized modification.

Always make sure that you have the necessary authorization to modify documents and that the changes are appropriate and justified.

Final Review

Review the entire document before finalizing it. Make sure that all text that needed to be struck out has been properly marked and that the document is still legible and serves its purpose.
