Edit formatting settings for more redaction freedom
The Redact PDF tool has formatting options that let you edit the color of the redacted text, box, and border. You can also add text that is applied over the top of the redacted information.
This level of customization ensures that your redacted content not only remains confidential but also seamlessly integrates with the look of your document. Tailor the redaction to suit the unique style and requirements for professional results.
Ensure your document is secure by adding a password
Once you redact the document, you need to trust that the information is only available to those that need it. Add a password to protect your PDF from being opened by anyone who doesn’t have the access information.
To encrypt your file with a password, simply upload it to the Protect PDF tool, set your password, and download the protected file. You will need to enter the password every time you wish to open this PDF.
Search for words and phrases with the Mobile PDF Reader
Use the search feature of the Mobile PDF Reader to find any important words or phrases that require revision and redaction. This will highlight the text and make the redaction faster, ensuring that you don’t miss anything serious.
Unable to search the PDF? You might have a scanned or restricted file. When selectable text is unavailable, use the OCR PDF tool to scan and create searchable text from the file. Like almost all our tools, it’s available across Mobile, Desktop, and Web.
