To cross out text (apply a strikethrough) in PDF XChange Editor, you typically use the dedicated tool designed for this purpose by selecting the specific words or sentences you wish to mark.

Here's a straightforward method based on the provided information:

Steps to Apply a Strikethrough

Applying a strikethrough involves selecting the text you want to mark and confirming the action, which is usually done by releasing your mouse button after selection.

  1. Initiate Selection: Press and hold the left mouse button at the beginning of the text passage you want to cross out.
  2. Select Text: While still holding the left mouse button, drag the cursor across the individual words or full sentences you intend to strike through. As you select, the text will be displayed with a blue background, indicating it is currently highlighted for the upcoming action.
  3. Apply Strikethrough: Release the mouse button. The previously selected text, which had the blue background, will now be visibly marked with a red strikethrough.

This process applies a visual annotation over the text, showing it as crossed out, which is a common way to indicate removal or deletion in documents without actually deleting the original content.
