About PDF Redaction

PDF redaction allows you to permanently hide confidential information in a document. PDF Privacy.pro allows you to select and black out text, images, or entire areas.

Unlike regular highlighting, redaction completely removes information — it cannot be recovered. This is important for protecting personal data.

The tool works locally, so confidential documents are not transmitted to any server.
