How does the Strikethrough Text work?

Draw strikethrough lines through specified rectangles on a PDF — useful for redline editing where you want to mark deletions visually without removing the underlying content. Each input rectangle gets a horizontal line drawn at its vertical centre. Red is the convention for "deleted in editing"; black or blue are available for non-redline use cases.
