Good to know
- Important: this draws a white box over the content. The text underneath may still be in the file and could be selected or copied. Do not rely on it to hide sensitive information such as ID numbers or account details.
- It assumes a plain white background. On coloured areas the box will show as a white patch.
Questions and answers
Is this true redaction?
No. It covers content visually. Hidden text can remain in the file, so do not use it for confidential data that must not be recoverable.
How can I check what is still in the file?
Open the result, select all text with Ctrl+A and paste it into a notepad to see what remains.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. It covers the area on the page image.
