About Redact Pdf
Redact Pdf is used to permanently black out sensitive text or information before sharing a PDF. It removes the underlying content in the selected area, not just covers it visually, so it can't be copied or revealed. Always verify the redacted file by trying to select/copy the blacked-out area — true redaction should return nothing. Redact Pdf runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup, no file upload to a server.
