What is PDF Redaction?
PDF redaction is the process of permanently removing or obscuring sensitive, confidential, or classified information from PDF documents. Unlike simple highlighting or deletion, proper redaction ensures that the hidden information cannot be recovered or accessed by any means.
Our PDF redact tool provides a secure and professional way to black out sensitive data such as personal information, financial details, legal documents, medical records, and other confidential content before sharing or publishing documents.
