Use cases

Erase Sensitive Content with Precision

Quickly remove specific pages containing sensitive information from your PDF document. Whether redacting confidential sections of reports or eliminating outdated appendices, this feature provides a secure, straightforward solution for page-level redaction.

Delete Specific Elements Safely

Redact precisely by removing text, images, or paths from within a document. This feature enables selective redaction, ideal for concealing sensitive customer data, proprietary diagrams, or other critical information without affecting unrelated content.

Character-Level Redaction

Redact individual characters or words seamlessly while leaving the surrounding content untouched. This granular control is perfect for redacting names, account numbers, or other pinpoint-sensitive data without disrupting the document’s layout.

Flatten or Remove Annotations and Form Fields

Flatten annotations and remove form fields as part of the redaction process to secure and finalize your PDFs. This prevents any accidental data exposure while maintaining a polished, professional document for sharing or archiving.
