An imprint is an object such as an annotation added on top of the existing PDF page that can be edited, moved, resized, etc. When "editing" original PDF text and images in a document, parts of the page are removed and replaced by imprints to match the original. As you edit the PDF content, you are editing these imprints. An exception is when using the Precision Edit tool
