Frequently asked questions

Why add an invisible layer?
For testing and demonstration: it lets you check how your own parser, bot, or LLM reacts to invisible text, and confirm the 'Find hidden layers' tool detects it.
Can this be used as protection?
No. The layer is neither encrypted nor obfuscated: any extractor — including our own scanner — will surface its full text.
Can I choose specific pages?
Yes — the layer is added either to the pages you list or to all of them at once.
