Redact Sensitive Text in PDF

GDPR Compliant Permanent Redaction

Simply drawing a black rectangle over sensitive text in a PDF does NOT redact it — the underlying text is still selectable and searchable. This is a critical compliance failure that has led to major data breaches.

DocInspector performs true permanent redaction — it searches for the keyword in the PDF text layer, replaces it with a solid black mark, and flattens the document so the original text data is completely destroyed and unrecoverable.

  • 5The document is flattened — the original text data is gone forever.
