Frequently Asked Questions

Are PDF redactions truly permanent?

Yes. Our tool draws opaque rectangles over the selected areas in the PDF, permanently covering the underlying content. The original text beneath the redaction cannot be recovered from the output file.

Is this tool GDPR compliant?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server. The redaction permanently removes visible content, making it suitable for GDPR data sanitization requirements.

Can I redact specific text across multiple pages?

Yes. Use the Text Search mode to find specific words or phrases across all pages. Click 'Redact All Matches' to create redaction boxes over every occurrence at once.
