Frequently asked questions
Simple answers to your questions
What is the difference between redacting and covering text with a shape?

Redaction removes the underlying text so it can’t be selected, copied, or recovered, whereas simple shapes may leave the content still searchable underneath.

Can I choose exactly which parts of a PDF to redact?

Yes. You can mark specific words, lines, or regions on each page and apply redactions only to those selections.

Is redaction permanent once I save the file?

When you apply and save redactions, the selected content is permanently removed from the exported PDF. Always keep an unredacted original if needed.

What types of information should I redact?

Many teams redact personally identifiable information, financial details, contract clauses, internal notes, and other data that should not be shared.

Do recipients need special software to view a redacted PDF?

No. Redacted PDFs open in standard PDF readers; the hidden content simply no longer appears in the document.
