FAQ
How is this different from Whiteout in Edit PDF?
Whiteout only places a box on top, so the original text stays in the file. This tool rebuilds each page that has a redaction as an image, so the original data is gone.
I can't search text on redacted pages.
Redacted pages become images so the original data is removed. Run OCR PDF on the result to make them searchable again.
Is my file uploaded?
