One unlocked PDF up to 10 MB and 500 pages, plus one exact phrase of 2-120 characters.

Common uses
When Redact PDF is useful
Permanently remove a detected phrase from PDF pages.
Remove a known account number repeated in a generated report.
Prepare a limited-disclosure copy after identifying an exact name or code.
Strip one confirmed text phrase before sending a document outside a team.
Important boundary
Redaction is not a general privacy scan.
Only exact searchable matches are removed. Never assume the result is safe until a person reviews every disclosure surface.
Practical help
Questions before you run it
Does it draw a black box?
No. Matched page content is removed and a black redaction fill is written over the region.
Will it find text inside a scan?
No. Run OCR first, then verify that the recognized phrase matches the visible scan.
Can I redact several different phrases at once?
This release handles one phrase per job so each output can be reviewed clearly.
