Black out private details for good, by searching for them or drawing boxes.
Redacted pages become images when you save, so the hidden text can't be recovered or copied.
Unlimited conversions, batch PDF to Word, bigger files, and the Split and Page Numbers tools.
When you save, every page with a redaction is turned into an image with the marked areas filled in black. The text underneath is removed, not just covered, so it can't be copied, searched or recovered. Text on those pages can't be selected afterwards. Pages without redactions stay exactly as they were, and document details such as title, author and keywords are removed.
