Redact PDF

Remove sensitive information for good. Give the tool a list of words or phrases (or regular expressions), and it finds each match in the PDF and deletes the underlying text, so the data cannot be copied or searched out afterwards.

Common questions

Is redacted text really gone?

Yes. Redaction deletes the characters from the file rather than covering them, so nothing can be selected, copied or searched out.

What can I redact?

Any word or phrase you list, or regular-expression patterns when you enable that option.

Does it detect names and numbers automatically?

No. You provide the terms to redact; the tool then finds and removes every occurrence of them. There is no automatic entity detection.
